Abstract: Abstract As the integration of entrepreneurship and strategic management, strategic entrepreneurship (SE) and related research has been developing for more than 20 years. Enterprises need such a holistic perspective to survive and thrive in the current competitive environment, capturing the efforts to achieve long-term goals, as do entrepreneurs and managers. A comprehensive review scans the evolution of this integrated domain based on 365 publications extracted from Web of Science (WoS), which span from 2001 to 2021, while the knowledge and methods of bibliometrics are mainly employed to complete the process of analysis. To be specific, three aspects are primarily focused on: general characteristics of publications, cooperative relationship network and crucial content. All the analysis steps are realized through bibliometric visualization software VOSviewer and CiteSpace, and the results are then demonstrated in the form of data and graphs for conclusion and discussion. By providing an overall insight into SE, this article gains researchers’ better understanding of theoretical construction and achievements. More importantly, scholars may pay more attention to the development and research of SE from multiple fields.
