Bibliometric analysis of entrepreneurial competencies using Scopus data and VOSviewer

Abstract

The positive impact of entrepreneurial competencies has sparked the attention of researchers from various industries and disciplines. Since academic scholars are becoming more interested in the practice of entrepreneurial competencies, thus it is required to gain a better grasp of the themes of interest and to expand collaboration networks in order to advance research toward interdisciplinary approaches. Therefore, an analysis using the bibliometric technique was conducted to find major trends and themes by analyzing significant papers, countries, authors, and keywords. This research used the Scopus database and expanded to scientific mapping using VOSviewer to provide a complete view of research trends. According to the statistics, the overall number of articles has climbed consistently from 2017 to 2021. Researchers from India, Malaysia, and the United Kingdom greatly contributed to the entrepreneurial competencies research. However, entrepreneurial competencies have received limited attention in the computer science and engineering field. The statistical research shows conclusively that there is a strong relationship between entrepreneurial competencies and intention, entrepreneurship education, and learning. The following analyses were accomplished in this study namely co-citation, bibliographical coupling, authors’ keywords, and co-occurrence of all keywords. Future researchers investigating entrepreneurial competencies will be able to accurately target their research using the findings presented in this paper.

Assessment of Entrepreneurial Potential in the Training of a New Generation of Change Agents in Spain

“…In line with previous research (Lackéus and Sävetun 2019;Luis-Rico et al 2020;Manickam and Abd Rozan 2023;Schelfhout et al 2016;Susantiningrum et al 2023), the results obtained suggest that entrepreneurship education has a positive effect on participants in such education programmes. Specifically, the data on the first hypothesis (the formation of entrepreneurial attitudes will significantly increase the entrepreneurial potential of the participating students) revealed that, after implementing the programme, the scores for the experimental group had increased, and were significantly higher than those of the control group, for the five attitudes studied.…”
