Disasters – natural or manmade – are on the rise with far-reaching implications for international business (IB) actors and transactions. While the Covid-19 pandemic has generated much academic interest for its impact on business in general, little effort has been made to consolidate the fragmented research on disasters more broadly in the field of international business. Therefore, it is important and urgent to consolidate the existing knowledge to provide a solid basis for future research. We systematically review 132 articles published between 1991 and 2022 and critically evaluate the nascent but rapidly growing literature at the intersection of disasters and IB. Our examination of the different types of disasters (natural and manmade) shows two separate streams: (1) a dominant MNE-centric stream of strategic IB research which regards disaster as an exogenous shock impacting MNE strategies, responses, and resilience, and (2) an emergent stream which places disaster as a more central, embedded phenomenon of investigation impacted by MNEs and other global actors. Our systematic review highlights the gaps in this literature and concludes with a discussion of the intersection of IB-disasters in relation to the 17 United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to suggest directions for future research.

自然灾害或人为灾害正在增加，对国际商业 (IB) 参与者和交易产生深远影响。尽管 Covid-19 大流行因其对商业的总体影响而引起了学术界的广泛兴趣，但在国际商业领域更广泛地整合分散的灾害研究方面却鲜有努力。因此，巩固已有的知识，为今后的研究打下坚实的基础，是重要而紧迫的。我们系统地回顾了 1991 年至 2022 年期间发表的 132 篇文章，并批判性地评估了有关灾害和 IB 交叉领域的新生但快速增长的文献。我们对不同类型的灾难（自然灾害和人为灾难）的研究显示了两个不同的流：(1) 占主导地位的以跨国公司为中心的战略 IB 研究流，将灾难视为影响跨国公司战略、响应和恢复力的外生冲击，以及 (2) 新兴流，将灾难视为受跨国公司和其他全球参与者。我们的系统回顾突出了这些文献中的差距，并以讨论 IB 灾害与 17 个联合国可持续发展目标 (SDG) 的交叉点作为结尾，为未来的研究提出方向建议。
