Abstract: Abstract Based on the need for companies to remain competitive and dynamic in a constantly changing environment, this systematic review on knowledge spillovers and strategic entrepreneurship seeks to identify what type of research, scales, variables and databases have been used in the academia and that seek to increase knowledge on this theme. Thus, this study covers 153 articles published in the last 19 years (1999–2017), in the Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) via Web of Knowledge. The articles were systematized and classified by different types of research and themes: i) theoretical approaches (history, concepts, definitions, processes and gaps; economic growth; regions and geography); ii) qualitative approaches (endogenous growth; networks and cooperation; strategic entrepreneurship; agglomeration, investment and performance); and iii) quantitative approaches (human capital; economic and endogenous growth; innovation and patents; cooperation; regions and geography; investment and performance).
