Abstract:
Sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) has attracted significant scholarly attention over the last decade. Given its rapid development and its multidisciplinary character, the SE literature is increasingly difficult to navigate. We combine two bibliometric approaches (i.e. co-citation analysis of references and bibliographic coupling of documents) with manual coding of documents to take stock of progress within the field, mapping out focal points as well as blind spots in the SE research agenda. We show how distinct subfields have formed around key ideas expressed in subsets of seminal papers, shedding light on the relational nature of knowledge creation – uncovering the characteristics, evolution and future trajectories of these subfields. We develop a future research agenda based on the developments of the overall field as well as the subfields of SE.
