Abstract

The current pandemic crisis of COVID-19 seems to be transforming the global socio- economic system in all dimensions and multiple directions. In this article, we argue that COVID-19 constitutes a “crisis in crisis” because it occurred at a time of an unfolding global transition. After a brief overview of the post-war phases of the evolution of global capitalism, we conclude that the impact of COVID-19 is catalytic, acting as an accelerator of developments. In this context, organizational adaptation and readaptation at all levels are imperative.
