“…Noteworthily, systematic reviews using bibliometrics are now a commonplace (Ellegaard & Wallin, 2015 ), including business in general (Baker et al, 2020 ; Donthu et al, 2021a ; Zupic & Čater, 2015 ) and finance in particular (Durisin & Puzone, 2009 ; Linnenluecke et al, 2018; Xu et al, 2018) as a bibliometric analysis can mitigate the potential bias that avail in manual (e.g., error prone) and qualitative (i.e., subjectivity) reviews using quantitative (i.e., objectivity) tools (Broadus, 1987 ; Burton et al, 2020 ), especially when the corpus for review is large (high hundreds to thousands of articles) (Donthu et al, 2021a ), as in the case of the present review (i.e., 936 articles). Following past reviews (Cobo et al, 2011 ; Donthu et al, 2020 , 2021d ; Khan et al, 2021 ), this study performs a bibliometric analysis using a performance analysis to delinate the publication trend, the top articles and contributing journals, authors, institutions, and countries, and the methodological choices and research contexts, and a science mapping via a temporal analysis using word clouds (Bastian et al, 2009; van Eck & Waltman, 2017 ) and a network analysis using keyword co-occurrence (Callon et al, 1983 ; Castriotta et al, 2019 ; Donthu et al, 2021a ; Newman & Girvan, 2004 ; Pesta et al, 2018 ) in VOSviewer (van Eck & Waltman, 2017 ) to unpack the major themes and topics underpinning the intellectual structure of sustainable finance research. To advance insights in the field, this study curates a future research agenda based on our reading of the articles and reflection of extant gaps under each major theme.…”

Sustainable finance is a rich field of research. Yet, existing reviews remain limited due to the piecemeal insights offered through a sub-set rather than the entire corpus of sustainable finance. To address this gap, this study aims to conduct a large-scale review that would provide a state-of-the-art overview of the performance and intellectual structure of sustainable finance. To do so, this study engages in a review of sustainable finance research using big data analytics through machine learning of scholarly research. In doing so, this study unpacks the most influential articles and top contributing journals, authors, institutions, and countries, as well as the methodological choices and research contexts for sustainable finance research. In addition, this study reveals insights into seven major themes of sustainable finance research, namely socially responsible investing, climate financing, green financing, impact investing, carbon financing, energy financing, and governance of sustainable financing and investing. To drive the field forward, this study proposes several suggestions for future sustainable finance research, which include developing and diffusing innovative sustainable financing instruments, magnifying and managing the profitability and returns of sustainable financing, making sustainable finance more sustainable, devising and unifying policies and frameworks for sustainable finance, tackling greenwashing of corporate sustainability reporting in sustainable finance, shining behavioral finance on sustainable finance, and leveraging the power of new-age technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, internet of things, and machine learning for sustainable finance.

“…According to Scopus, the academic contributions of JSM have grown to over 1300 documents. The academic influence and impact of the journal, characterized by its h and g indices (Hirsh, 2005; Egghe, 2008), are 108 and 158, respectively and are thus highly noteworthy and credible in comparison to leading marketing outlets such as the Journal of Business Research (Donthu et al , 2020a; Khan et al , 2021). However, despite such a high level of academic prominence, prior attempts to assess JSM ’s performance objectively are surprisingly absent.…”

Purpose Journal of services marketing (JSM) is a leading journal that has published cutting-edge research in services marketing over the past 34 years. The main objective of this paper is to provide a retrospective of the thematic structure of papers published in JSM over its publication history. Design/methodology/approach This study uses bibliometric methods to present a retrospective overview of JSM themes between 1987 and 2019. Using keywords co-occurrence analysis, this paper unveils the thematic structure of JSM’s most prolific themes. Bibliographic coupling analysis uncovers the research trends of the journal. Findings Leading authors, leading institutions, authors’ affiliated countries and critically, the dominant themes of JSM are identified. As its founding, JSM has published approximately 40 papers each year, with 2019 being its most productive year. On average, lead JSM authors to collaborate with 1.30 others. Keywords co-occurrence analysis identifies nine prominent thematic clusters, namely, “marketing to service”, “quality, satisfaction and delivery systems”, “service industries”, “relationship marketing”, “service failure, complaining and recovery”, “service dominant logic”, “technology, innovation and design”, “wellbeing” and “service encounters”. Bibliographic coupling analysis groups JSM papers into four clusters, namely, “brand & customer engagement behaviour”, “service co-creation”, “service encounters & service recovery” and “social networking”. Research limitations/implications This study is the first to analyse the thematic structure of JSM themes over its history. The themes are analysed across time periods and then compared to dominant themes identified in contemporary service research agendas. Recommendations are made based on the gaps found. This retrospective review will be useful to numerous key stakeholders including the editorial board and both existing and aspiring JSM contributors. The selection of literature is confined to Scopus. Originality/value JSM’s retrospection is likely to attract readership to the journal. The study’s recommendations regarding which areas have matured and which are still ripe for future contributions will offer useful guidelines for all stakeholders.

“…However, the growing popularity of this scientific method is due to many aspects such as: advanced scientific nature, availability and accessibility of bibliometricspecific software such as VOSviewer, Gephi, Leximancer, and scientific databases such as Web of Science and Scopus. At the same time, another equally important criterion that has contributed to the growing popularity of the method is the multidisciplinary nature of the results, which has allowed the transfer of working methodology from information science to business research [26,27]. Going further, the popularity of bibliometric analysis is not given by the fact that it is another method of researching the subdomains of a business or field of study, but rather by the utility of the method itself, which derives from the processing of large volumes of scientific data, with a high impact on the research itself regardless of the field.…”

Organizational Culture: A Concept Captive between Determinants and Its Own Power of Influence

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The main purpose of this study is to survey the scientific literature and try through bibliometric means to position the concept of organizational culture (OC) in a changing environment, governed today by sustainability goals. In such conditions, always appear new factors of influence and OC itself can exert a powerful impact on specific features of the organizational environment. The methodological approach comprises and follows four phases developed by the authors in accordance with recent and similar research. Main findings suggest that the interest of authors along time has fallen on the impact of OC at first rather than of OC determinants. Also there are many differences in terms of authors, sources, international cooperation, keywords and impact of scientific research between documents regarding the determinants of OC and documents related to the impact exerted by OC.
