A chapter in Entrepreneurship and Structural Change in Dynamic Territories, 2018, pp 29-51 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract At present, entrepreneurship and innovation are two basic pillars for regional development, so the entities involved in this development focus their efforts on enhancing the population’s capacities, taking into account, on the one hand, the resources available and on the other hand, local needs, which leads to public policies aimed at fostering entrepreneurial skills within the population. This research focuses on identifying and analysing scientific production that deals with the subject of Entrepreneurship and Regional Development. The methodology used is the bibliometric analysis that enables to observe the evolution in the generation of knowledge in this thematic area, to identify the authors or research teams that work on it, to identify the knowledge, as well as the lines of research or approaches followed by research and the media, through which the results are disseminated. All this information will enable to evaluate the maturity level of research in this area. The search for the bibliographic material was done in the international database Scopus, in which 125 articles were identified. The results show that researchers’ interest in this subject is very recent and there are many approaches and lines of research that have yet to be explored, in order to deepen and understand this phenomenon.
