Image analysis provides richer, more intuitive, and easily understandable insights, making it an increasingly indispensable tool in business. The exponential growth of image data has inspired management researchers to uncover the stories from image analysis. This study conducts a review of advanced management literature to examine how image analysis empowers managerial decisions. Drawing on information processing theory, we discuss the process of addressing management problems through image analysis from image perception, image encoding, and image-based decision-making. We reveal that image analysis provides novel perspectives, innovative methods, and emerging challenges for management, while also highlighting current research gaps in the application of image analysis within the management field. This study provides foundational guidelines for future explorations and innovations in image analysis for managerial decisions.
