Past Themes and Tracking Research Trends in Entrepreneurship: A Co-Word, Cites and Usage Count Analysis
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Literature Review
3. Materials and Methods
- Quadrant 1 corresponds to the core of the community. These are aggregates with a high degree of development and integration. This quadrant comprises subjects with strong centrality and high density and therefore contains the motor themes of the field. According to [70], lk a motor theme is derived from well-established knowledge (high density), and has implications to new topics (high centrality)
- Quadrant 2 comprises basic and transversal themes which are highly developed aggregates with high density and low centrality. They may be motor themes that have become isolated over time owing to a fade in interest.
- Quadrant 3 includes peripheral themes that are well developed internally but isolated from other themes and play a marginal role in the development of the scientific field.
- Quadrant 4 corresponds to emerging or declining themes with low centrality and density that are well connected but underdeveloped.
4. Results
4.1. Conceptual Evolution of the Discipline Through Its Classics: A Co-Word Analysis
4.1.1. First Period 1968–1995: Origins
- Motor themes (Quadrant 1): Performance, Individual-Trait, Corporate-Entrepreneurship and Motivation
- Basic themes (Quadrant 2): Entrepreneurial-Firm
- Highly developed and isolated themes (Quadrant 3): Success
- Emerging themes (Quadrant 4): Organizational-Structure, Market Imperfection and Model
4.1.2. Second Period 1996–2000: Development 1
- Three basic themes (Quadrant 2): Market, Entrepreneurship and Performance
- Three highly developed and isolated themes (Quadrant 3): Orientation, Competition and Self-Employment
- One emerging theme (Quadrant 4): Managers
4.1.3. Third Period 2001–2005: Development 2
4.1.4. Four Period 2006–2011: Consolidation
4.1.5. Evolutionary Map
- First period 1968–1995: This period contains 232 keywords, 84 of which re-appear in the following period (1996–2000). The remaining 148 keywords do not appear in the following period. The similarity index between the first and second periods is 0.1.
- Second period 1996–2000: This period contains 310 words, 226 of which are new. In the following period, 128 of these words re-appear and 182 are not used again. The similarity index between the second and third period is 0.13.
- Third period 2001–2005: With 409 words, this period has the largest number of words. A total of 281 new words have been incorporated. In the following period, 63 of the words remain and 346 disappear. The similarity index between the third and fourth period is 0.07.
- Fourth period 2006–2011: Given that there are few documents in this period, there is also a smaller number of keywords. Of the 139 keywords in this period, 76 are new additions.
- Line 1 is the most solid, since it is composed of motor and basic themes in all the periods studied.
- The following two thematic areas (lines 2 and 3) are the most important and are currently in the process of being developed. These lines exhibit the most ideal evolutionary behaviour and are expanding through the motor and basic themes, which are the origin of new emerging themes.
- There are two peripheral or specific cognitive lines (lines 4 and 5). These are research areas that have sparked the interest of the scientific community in specific periods of time but show signs of exhaustion owing to a lack of continuity.
- The last two lines (6,7) are in its peak and reach the last period in the form of motor themes (Innovation and Field). They arise from emerging themes (Managers) and motor (Discovery) and enjoy sustained growth that is consolidated. These lines may be the origin of new thematic areas in future.
- The development of entrepreneurship as a scientific discipline, reflected in the thematic areas detected in the classics, shows strong cohesion, as most of the identified themes weave a thread that runs through the different periods into which the study is divided.
- The first three lines are the ones with the greatest impact (Table 2 shaded in blue). These lines are grounded in a theme that clearly draws from Economics, Management and Business. These lines of development are intertwined especially in the last two periods (2001–2005 and 2006–2011), with Innovation acting as a link between them and as a real catalyst for the advancement of the discipline (Figure 9).
- Certain themes are not associated with any particular line (Motivation, Organizational-Structure, Success, Competition, Orientation, Joint-ventures, Social-Value). These are isolated themes that had an impact in a given period but which are difficult to insert in a particular thematic area, either because they are emerging themes (i.e., Social-Value) or because they are linked to too many thematic areas and are too general (i.e., Success, Orientation, Joint-Ventures).
- The evolution in the number of documents (size of the spheres) is homogeneous across the four periods, with some exceptions: Market, Competitive-Advantage, Innovation and Strategy, all of which comprise a similar number of documents. The number of highly cited works addressing these themes has grown, thus indicating that they are of increasing interest in the field.
- Overall, line 2 (Firm, Market, Innovation and Strategy) shows the best impact indicators.
