2024 | Nasser Alhamar Alkathiri, Foued Ben Said, Natanya Meyer and Mohammad Soliman
This study provides a bibliometric overview and research agenda on knowledge management (KM) and sustainable entrepreneurship (SE). It analyzes 233 documents from Scopus and Web of Science, using R 4.1.2 and VOSviewer to examine key trends, intellectual, social, and conceptual structures, as well as influential authors, countries, institutions, and journals. The findings reveal a growing body of research on KM and SE, with significant contributions from authors, countries, and institutions. The study highlights the importance of KM in achieving sustainability goals, emphasizing its role in generating, sharing, and implementing knowledge for sustainable practices. It also identifies key research trends, such as the integration of KM and SE, and the need for further research in areas like sustainable innovation, leadership, and technology-based businesses. The study provides a comprehensive research agenda, suggesting future directions for research in KM and SE, including the exploration of new themes such as ecological incubation, economic ecology, and entrepreneurial network. The study also discusses the implications of KM for sustainable entrepreneurship, emphasizing the need for effective knowledge management practices to support sustainable business operations. The research contributes to the existing literature by offering a systematic review and visualization of the scientific production on KM and SE, providing insights into the potential directions for future research in these fields. The study concludes that KM plays a crucial role in achieving sustainability, and that further research is needed to explore the intersections between KM and SE, as well as the impact of technological advancements on sustainable entrepreneurship.This study provides a bibliometric overview and research agenda on knowledge management (KM) and sustainable entrepreneurship (SE).
