Abstract(s)
Using bibliometric techniques to identify connections between existing
entrepreneurship studies, this article seeks to understand the scientific structure of
entrepreneurship research and how entrepreneurship scholarship is organized. Cocitation
data and quantitative approach were used to identify scientific publications,
intellectual structures, and research trends interrelated with theories of innovative
entrepreneurship. Data were gathered from the citations and co-citations found in
the Science Citation Index Expanded, Social Science Citation Index, and Arts and
Humanities Citation Index. Our research reveals six groups of underlying
entrepreneurship theories: (1) knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship, (2)
creation and networks theory, (3) decision-making theory, (4) specialization of
labor, (5) social entrepreneurship theory, and (6) entrepreneurship in the informal
economy.
