Purpose

This paper aims to identify, classify and study emerging social and business trends associated with the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Design/methodology/approach

By adopting the meta-synthesis method, the study scrutinizes, synthesizes and interprets the findings from a pool of publications. This approach results in identifying 53 key ideas that are classified under nine dominant trends.

Findings

The study identifies and examines nine major trends caused and intensified by the Covid-19 pandemic, i.e. the rise of authoritarianism, the new era of corporate welfare, deep imbalances in public finances, exacerbated inequalities, higher risks of poverty and famine, the dominance of giant corporations, the increasing influence of big tech, the accelerated innovation and the fluidity of work and organizations. The paper suggests that these trends are the continuation of the past three decades’ transformations, are contributing to the rising concentration of power and wealth and are leading to a new type of globalization marked by high connectivity and low tangibility.

Originality/value

The originality of this paper resides in adopting a multidisciplinary approach to analyzing various social and business dimensions of a complex phenomenon. While the study should not be viewed as a comprehensive investigation, it offers a groundwork for further research on Covid-19.

与Covid-19大流行相关的新兴社会和商业趋势

目的

本文旨在确定,分类和研究与Covid-19大流行相关的新兴社会和商业趋势。

设计/方法/方法

通过采用元合成方法,该研究仔细审查,综合和解释了一系列出版物的发现。通过这种方法,可以确定归类于9个主要趋势下的53个关键思想。

发现

该研究确定并研究了Covid-19大流行所造成和加剧的九个主要趋势,即专制主义的兴起,公司福利的新时代,公共财政的严重失衡,不平等加剧,贫困和饥荒的风险增加,大型公司,大型技术的影响力不断增强,创新的加速以及工作和组织的流动性。该论文认为,这些趋势是过去三十年转型的延续,正在促进权力和财富的集中化,并导致以连通性和低触觉为特征的新型全球化。

创意/价值

本文的独创性在于采用多学科方法来分析复杂现象的各种社会和商业维度。尽管该研究不应被视为全面的研究,但它为进一步研究Covid-19提供了基础。
