Abstract

The Covid-19 outbreak has adversely affected the whole world, not only in the field of health, but also socially and economically. The crisis continues to affect social norms deeply by causing significant changes in the social structure. Changes in consumer movements in particular have had negative consequences for Small and Medium Enterprises. In this context, the aim of this article is to make generalizations by reading the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on SMEs through empirical research. In this context, a conceptual map was created by subjecting 20 empirical research articles to content analysis. This study is important for governments and business owners to see generalizable first results and to develop policies and strategies. The financial difficulties of SMEs, the closure of some of them and the high rate of workforce losses are among the important conceptualizations. In addition, innovation efforts to get rid of the negative situation created by the crisis are also a positive development for SMEs.

Özet

Covid-19 salgını sadece sağlık alanında değil aynı zamanda sosyal ve ekonomik olarak da tüm dünyayı olumsuz olarak etkilemiştir. Kriz, sosyal yapıda önemli değişimlere yol açarak toplumsal normları derinden etkilemeye devam etmektedir. Özellikle tüketici hareketlerindeki değişikliklerin Küçük ve Orta Büyüklükteki İşletmeler üzerinde olumsuz sonuçları olmuştur. Bu bağlamda bu makalenin amacı Covid-19 krizinin KOBİ’ler üzerindeki etkisini ampirik çalışmalar üzerinden okuyarak genellemeler yapmaktır. Bu kapsamda 20 ampirik araştırma makalesi içerik analizine tabi tutularak kavramsal bir harita oluşturulmuştur. Bu çalışma hükümetlerin ve işletme sahiplerinin genellenebilir ilk sonuçları görmesi, politika ve strateji geliştirmeleri adına önemlidir. KOBİ’lerin mali açıdan sıkıntı yaşamaları, bazılarının kapanması ve işgücü kayıplarının yüksek oranda olması önemli kavramsallaştırmalardandır. Bunun yanında krizin yarattığı olumsuz durumdan kurtulmak için yenilikçilik çabaları da KOBİ’ler için olumlu bir gelişmedir.
