COVID-19从根本上改变了人类生活和全球社会的许多方面，无论是现在还是未来许多年。转型的一个关键方面是数字化程度的提高，以及信息管理文献中讨论多年的先前预测趋势的加速实施。人类的努力促使我们在工作、教育、医疗保健、娱乐休闲和在线商务等领域通过迫切需要来适应“新常态”。这种新环境为信息管理研究界提供了前所未有的机会，使他们能够开展对这些领域和其他领域的实践产生重大影响的研究。我们基本上处于数字空间新发展的顶峰，必须寻求发展典范，以帮助为所有人的利益指明数字全球社会的未来方向。尽管如此，数字化的问题也在加剧，必须在新冠肺炎疫情后的世界中进一步理解和改善。本文探讨了新冠肺炎疫情给信息管理带来的机遇和问题。它详细说明了对研究和实践的影响。
COVID-19 has radically transformed many aspects of human life and global society both now and for many years to come. A key aspect of the transformation has been increased digitalization and the accelerated implementation of previously predicted trends that have been discussed for many years in the information management literature. Human endeavour has encouraged us to adapt to the "new normal" through immediate necessity in areas such as work, education, healthcare, entertainment and leisure, and online commerce. This new environment has provided unprecedented opportunities for the information management research community to develop research that will have a significant impact on practice in these and other areas. We are essentially at the pinnacle of new developments in the digital space and must seek to develop exemplars that can help to signpost the future direction of digital global society for the benefit of all. Notwithstanding, the problems of digitalization have also been exacerbated and must be further understood and ameliorated in the post-COVID world. This paper examines opportunities and problems in information management brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. It details implications for research and practice.
