Impact of COVID-19 pandemic on information management research and practice: Transforming education, work and life
Open accessOverview
AI snapshot
Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
This viewpoint synthesizes 12 invited expert perspectives on how COVID-19 transformed information management/IS research and practice across education, work, digital strategy, AI, privacy, cybersecurity, mobile tracing, big data, and blockchain. It offers a timely agenda and lessons, but it is an opinion-based collection rather than an empirical study.
Key findings
- The pandemic forced rapid digital transformation across online teaching, remote work, digital strategy, AI decision-making, mobile contact tracing, cybersecurity, big data/privacy/blockchain, and post-pandemic IS strategy. Specific teaching observations include online group activities taking 50% less time and recommendations for lecture chunks of 7–15 minutes, with no lectures or recorded material longer than 20 minutes.
- Mobile tracing and digital health tools scaled rapidly but faced privacy and access limits: Aarogya Setu was downloaded by 100 million users within 6 weeks; India had about 1.3 billion phones but only 374 million smartphones; the UK COVID-19 symptom study had over 3 million contributors, analysed 2.5 million UK users, found 6,500 positive among about 15,000 tested, and predicted COVID-19 symptoms with 80% accuracy; loss of taste and smell appeared in two thirds of users tested positive.
- Digitalisation shaped crisis coping unevenly: online/digital-platform businesses saw small negative sales effects but could be challenged by sharp advertising revenue decreases; e-commerce had mixed demand and supply bottlenecks; low-digitalised value chains, such as car manufacturers, were mostly challenged. Zoom downloads rose 14 times in the US, 14 times in the UK, and 55 times in Italy compared with pre-pandemic levels; one Twitter analysis covered 26,264 COVID-19 tweets over five months.
- Cybersecurity threats increased during the crisis, including “coronavirus malware,” phishing, ransomware, brute force attacks, DoS, and crypto-jacking. Homeworking raised social isolation and management concerns, while AI was described as immature for complex public policy and constrained by imperfect information, deep uncertainty, high risk, and urgency.
Methods
- Viewpoint/collective expert opinion piece. It collates the views of 12 invited subject experts, presented largely unedited, following the approach used in Dwivedi et al. (2015; 2019; 2020) and Kizgin et al. (2020).
- Contributions cover online learning, digital strategy, artificial intelligence, information management, social interaction, cyber security, big data, blockchain, privacy, mobile technology, and strategy through the lens of COVID-19.
- Main analysis is a narrative synthesis/overview: Section 3 appraises selected COVID-19 opinion articles in the IJIM special issue, and Section 4 concludes with implications for research and practice. No primary empirical data collection or systematic review is reported.
Limitations
- Stated: the largely unedited expert contributions can produce “inherent unevenness within the logical flow”; the method captures distinctive orientations rather than a uniform review.
- Stated: for technology-enabled social interaction, “there is not enough empirical evidence from which to draw firm conclusions,” and whether it is more hype than reality is yet to be deduced.
- Evident: it is a viewpoint/opinion collection, not an empirical study; expert selection/recruitment and analysis procedure are not fully specified; the proposed PP-TISS framework is not empirically validated, and the paper calls for future empirical validation.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-10, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-10 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
