Advances in management research: a bibliometric overview of the Review of Managerial Science

Abstract

The Review of Managerial Science (RMS) is a leading international journal that publishes major advances related to business administration and management. The journal was launched in April 2007 and publishes eight issues per year (from 2021 onwards). The scope of RMS encompasses, but is not limited to, the functional areas of operations (such as production, operations management, and marketing), management (such as human resources management, strategic management, and organizational theory), information systems and their interrelations with capital markets (such as accounting, auditing, finance, and taxation), as well as questions of business strategy, entrepreneurship, innovation, and corporate governance. This study offers a bibliometric overview of the publication and citation structure of RMS from its inception in 2007 until 2020 in terms of topics, authors, institutions, and countries, thereby offering a comprehensive overview of the history of the journal so far. All the data for the study are from the Web of Science Core Collection database. To complement this analysis, VOSviewer software provides graphical analysis. The analysis is based on several bibliometric techniques such as co-citation analysis and bibliographic coupling.

Business model innovation: Identifying foundations and trajectories

“…Bibliometric methods have been gaining importance in the literary field and are used to map the state of the art of scientific fields and disciplines (Zupic & Čater, 2015). Bibliometrics quantify and statistically evaluate literature so that interconnections between publications can be identified, and topics such as research trends and growth of knowledge, authorship, and past, present, and future publishing trends can be recognized (Mas‐Tur, Kraus, Brandtner, Ewert, & Kürsten, 2020; Sengupta, 1992).…”

Opportunity Recognition: Conversational Foundations and Pathways Ahead

“…To deal with this problem, the aim of this paper is to structure the scattered research field on opportunity recognition by conducting both a bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review. While literature reviews are a traditional, qualitative way to organize complex research fields (Kraus, Breier, and Dasí-Rodríguez 2020;Tranfield, Denyer, and Smart 2003), bibliometric analyses represent a quantitative mapping method based on citations (Devos 2011;Zupic and Čater 2015;Mas-Tur et al 2020) which has just recently become increasingly popular in business, entrepreneurship, and management (Filser et al 2020;Gundolf and Filser, 2013;Kruggel et al 2020;Luther, Tiberius, and Brem 2020;Xi et al 2015). More specifically, our bibliometric analysis identifies the 30 most cited and therefore most influential publications within the opportunity recognition field.…”

Entrepreneurial Failure: A Synthesis and Conceptual Framework of its Effects

“…Subsequently, the search was restricted to academic articles, including qualitative or quantitative empirical studies, and by language (English only). Furthermore, we excluded the works from non‐economic, non‐business, and non‐management areas (Mas‐Tur et al ., 2020), and thus identified 47 papers.…”
