Abstract: A systematic literature review (SLR) is a method to collect and synthesize existing research findings systematically. By providing an illustrative example of how to conduct an SLR focusing on entrepreneurial teams and venture creation, this chapter outlines the key steps for its adoption. In particular, we demonstrate how to compile a comprehensive overview of the existing literature and identify potential research gaps or areas needing further exploration. The pros and cons of using an SLR are also shown. Overall, by highlighting the main steps of an SLR, presenting an example in the context of entrepreneurial teams, discussing the limitations of the approach, and suggesting alternative methodologies, researchers can gain a comprehensive understanding of how to utilize an SLR effectively and make informed decisions about when and how to employ complementary approaches.
