Thus, researchers have focused on strategic management from different perspectives and this situation has led to that strategic management literature considering COVID-19 incredibly enlarged. Here, this research aims to show the architecture of the current literature and examine it with a holistic and critical perspective provided by using bibliometric analysis and critical systematic review concurrently. 226 articles were determined to represent the literature in two steps: (i) WOS search based on keywords and (ii) eliminating irrelevant articles by reading. To realize research aims, a twofold research method was adopted. By leveraging bibliometric analysis, the map of the current literature was shown. Then, a critical systematic review based on content analysis of 226 articles was carried out. Herein, more/less studied fields and future research directions were shared, and methods & levels of analysis of research were shared.
