Abstract
Purpose: Covid-19 is a pandemic disease that spread all over the world, provoking
disruption in health, social, economic, financial systems. We propose the ‘drop of honey
effect’ metaphor to show the implications the spread of the virus had in the national systems
and in the international order.
Design/methodology/approach: We use chaos theory framework and the ‘drop of honey
effect’ metaphor to show how fast the disease spread and the consequences it has.
Findings: A disease that appeared in a specific region, rapidly spread for the world with
huge consequences at social, economic, financial dimensions. New uncertainty environments
of crisis demand new tools and approaches.
