Purpose The remarkable concept of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) has attracted scholars’ attention for its relevance to a firm’s performance. Based on bibliometric and distance-based visualization of similarities (VOS) analysis, the purpose of this paper is to outline a broad-spectrum perspective of the structure of research in EO across more than 20 years of publications, identifying the most prominent journals, authors and articles in this field. Design/methodology/approach The paper uses the Web of Science Core Collection and the VOS viewer software. The analysis searches for all the documents connected to EO available in the database from 1976 to 2017. The graphical visualization maps the bibliographic data using both bibliographic coupling and co-citation data. Findings Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice Journal, Journal of Business Venturing and Family Business Review are the most relevant journals in the field. Among the many important authors in the EO literature, key contributors are Lumpkin, Payne, Short, Covin, Dess and Wiklund. Three different streams of research are linked to the EO concept; strategy and entrepreneurship, family business and miscellaneous work in psychometrics, methods, marketing and knowledge/capability-based approaches to organizations. Originality/value This paper contributes to EO research by providing a global perspective on the concept’s investigation, using bibliometric data and graphical networks.
Sustainability, entrepreneurship and tourism, destination and hospitality research have attracted scholars’ attention for their relevance in bringing to fruition a future that links economic well-being with the environmental, cultural, and social sustainability of human beings. This article provides a bibliometric overview of the academic research where these topics intersect. To accomplish this, various bibliometric methods are implemented, which include a performance analysis and graphic mapping of the academic production in this specific topic. This research uses the Web of Science database to identify and classify the most preponderant investigations in the field and considers articles, authors, institutions, countries, and journals. To complete the performance analysis, a series of indicators, such as number of papers and number of citations, are used. Graphic visualization maps are produced using the co-citation and co-occurrence of keywords under the Visualization of Similarities—VOSviewer—software. The results show a growing concern for entrepreneurship in sustainable tourism development research, which is evidenced in the increasing number of studies during the last decade. Some influential research institutions and authors from countries including the USA, New Zealand, and Norway are found to be influential leaders in this topic. Additionally, the results show that journals from the area of hospitality, leisure, sport, and tourism are frontrunners in this subject.
Purpose New product development (NPD) is a noteworthy field that has attracted the attention of scholars for its relevance for firm success. Based on bibliometric indicators and spatial distance network analysis, the authors outline the general structure overview of NPD research through the last 40 years of scientific production; identify and categorize key articles, authors, journals, institutions, and countries related to NPD research; identify and map the research subareas that have mostly contributed to the construction of NPD intellectual structure. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach The work uses the Web of Science Core Collection and the visualization of similarities viewer software. The analysis searches for all the documents connected to NPD available in the database. The graphical visualization maps the bibliographic data in terms of bibliographic coupling and co-citation. Findings The general NPD citation pattern evidences a construction of knowledge and learning, as evidenced in different subjects, such as biology or physics. Relevant contributions and contributors are highlighted as journals, articles, researchers, countries and institutions in overall NPD research and in its constituent subfields. Five subareas related to the NPD field based on journals and authors network are identified: marketing; operations and production; strategy; industrial engineering and operations; and management. Originality/value This paper contributes to the NPD literature by offering a global perspective on the field by using bibliometric data graphical networks, providing insights about the influence of individual actors and its contributions to build bridges between the different subfields of research in NPD.
Durante la década anterior la criminalidad organizada incrementó considerablemente la violencia contra los estados del norte en México, si se le compara con la relativa disminución en Brasil y Colombia. ¿Por qué difieren las políticas de seguridad al intentar reducir la violencia causada por el narcotráfico? ¿Repite México los mismos fenómenos de violencia que Colombia durante los años 90? ¿Qué diferencia los modelos de seguridad en Rio y la política de contención implementada en Medellín durante el gobierno del presidente Uribe? El análisis de la violencia criminal como subtipo de las guerras civiles provee pocas herramientas dadas las diferencias entre las organizaciones de la mafia y agrupaciones insurgentes. En este artículo se sustenta que los carteles de las drogas no luchan exclusivamente por territorio o por el control del poder político, sino que entre sus objetivos está condicionar a los actores estatales a trabajar por ellos. El medio preferido por los carteles de las drogas es la corrupción –amenazando funcionarios o sobornándolos. Nuestra lectura permite observar que una mayor represión incrementa los precios del soborno y promueve la guerra entre los mismos carteles, siempre que se cumplan dos condiciones (a) que la corrupción sea generalizada, y (b) que la represión obligue a los carteles a tomar retaliaciones como venganza. Analizar los cambios en las políticas de seguridad contribuye a explicar las diferencias entre los mismos carteles.
