Mapping the intellectual structure of entrepreneurship in the light of dynamic capabilities: a bibliometric analysis

This study uses a bibliometric approach to analyze how the scientific production of entrepreneurship and the theoretical approach of the dynamic capabilities is corelated. With a sample of 701 studies from the Web of Science database we identified 88 articles concentrated in four different journals, pointing the most productive authors, the most cited references and clusters of keywords mainly related to entrepreneurship and dynamic capabilities. The results demonstrates that entrepreneurship and dynamic capabilities are two research streams that still need to have their relationships better explored, since the bibliometric maps demonstrated that most studies appear to have a main focus on dynamic capabilities but only addressing entrepreneurship related either to the entrepreneur itself, or to its entrepreneurial orientation not exploring other important entrepreneurship issues. This work contributes theoretically as being the first bibliometric study that examines the relationship between entrepreneurship and dynamic capability and encourages future studies on the theme
