A Bibliometric Analysis on Pay-per-Click as an Instrument for Digital Entrepreneurship Management Using VOSviewer and SCOPUS Data Analysis Tools

Abstract

Network data maps constitute a practical visual data-classification tool in structuring complex research literature endowed with multiple economic, social, and psychological relationships, as happens with the evolution of digital entrepreneurship as a research topic in the COVID-19 era. Has the digitalization process, accelerated by COVID-19, influenced entrepreneurship by strengthening digital entrepreneurship worldwide? Is innovation the most-cited keyword in the digital entrepreneurship-related literature published in the SCOPUS database from 2001 onwards? Does pay-per-click as an instrument for digital entrepreneurship management foster sustainable development? To answer these questions, we combine a software tool for constructing and visualizing bibliometric networks, VOSviewer version 1.6.18, with the SCOPUS bibliographic data tool to investigate the keyword ‘digital entrepreneurship.’ As a result, we obtained 2154 documents in the SCOPUS database for 2001–2022 in all 27 subject areas, of which 1055 documents were from BMA (Business, Management, and Accounting) and EEF (Economics, Econometrics, and Finance) areas. Regarding the keyword ‘pay-per-click,’ we obtained 63 papers for 2005–2022 from BMA and EEF subject areas. We find that there is a growing interest in researching digital entrepreneurship led by authors from the European Union and followed by the United States; innovation is the most-cited keyword in documents related to digital entrepreneurship, and researchers worldwide are giving more importance to the process of digitalization compared to the link between educational, economic, and technological factors and digital entrepreneurship. Regarding ‘pay-per-click,’ we find that the literature published on this topic is broadly based on the US, and given the small number of publications on this issue, it is a research area with great potential to investigate and publish about it.

Organizational Culture and Teamwork: A Bibliometric Perspective on Public and Private Organizations

“…Research on organizational change, quality care, collaboration and empowerment has been declining in recent years. However, such concepts are dimensions that are part of organizational culture, as has already been mentioned regarding collaboration between areas and work teams, allowing the efficient processing of information and the reduction or prevention of errors, with a high sense of commitment and motivation to empower teams to meet organizational goals [102]. However, further investigation is needed, as there are still weaknesses that must be identified to manage these factors appropriately, respecting the different contexts.…”

“…The processed data were analysed in terms of quantity and quality using a pre-designed Microsoft Excel template for the analysis of keyword frequency and currency. VOSviewer was used to construct keyword co-occurrence, co-authorship, citation, and co-citation maps based on bibliographic data reflecting the productivity, impact, and connectivity between authors [49,50]. To accomplish this, the default or suggested parameters of version 1.6.18 of the software developed by Van Eck and Waltman [51] were employed.…”
