Business and health: A research agenda post‐Covid‐19

Abstract

Despite some work dealing with occupational health and marketing unhealthy products, the business and society largely ignores the impacts of business on health. Focusing on employees and consumers, the literature does not take into account the impacts of business on the health of community members in general. Given work in such fields as public health, geography, and history, there is an ample basis upon which to construct a new line of research for business and society scholars—business and health. This essay develops ideas on how such a line of inquiry might proceed.
