The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed a seismic shift in global business environments, exposing vulnerabilities in traditional strategic models and accelerating the need for adaptive frameworks. This paper presents a meta-analytical review of strategic responses adopted by firms across sectors—retail, healthcare, and technology—in the post-pandemic era. Drawing from 35 peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2025, the analysis identifies three dominant themes: strategic agility, digital transformation, and organizational resilience. The findings underscore the importance of decentralized decision-making, investment in scalable technologies, and proactive risk management. The paper concludes with actionable recommendations for firms navigating volatility and outlines future research directions in strategic management.
