“…There are no authors from outside Europe in the top ranks. This is more surprising when the US authors as the main scholars in the entrepreneurship field (Lu et al, 2020), are absent in this ranking. Entrepreneurship is the main research interest of most of the authors.…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the evolution, roots and influence of the rural entrepreneurship literature. Design/methodology/approach Using a bibliometric exercise, the analysis starts with investigation of studies on entrepreneurship and gathering all (772) articles on rural entrepreneurship (from 1981 to 2020) found in both Scopus and Web of Science up to 15 August 2020. Citation analysis of the references/citations of 755 articles are listed in the abstract database, generating a citation database involving 46,432 references/citations. This paper considers 635 (out of the 772) articles on rural entrepreneurship (i.e. articles cited in one or more studies), generating a database of 10,767 studies influenced by the rural entrepreneurship literature. Findings This study discovers that the relative importance of rural entrepreneurship within the entrepreneurship literature has increased in the last few years, but rural entrepreneurship remains a European concern; the most frequently addressed topics include growth and development, institutional frameworks and governance and rurality, with theory building being rather understudied. Most of the studies on rural entrepreneurship are empirical, involving mainly qualitative analyses and targeting high income countries; rural entrepreneurship is rooted in the fields of economics and entrepreneurship and is relatively self-referential. Originality/value This study provides a comprehensive and updated investigation of evolution of the rural entrepreneurship literature. The assessment of the literature’s scientific roots of rural entrepreneurship had not yet been tackled before. To the best of the author’s knowledge this study can be considered as the first effort for identifying the scientific influence of the rural entrepreneurship literature.

“…Financial wealth creation is the first component of civic wealth creation. According to some researchers as entrepreneurship is profit-seeking and involves constant innovation (Lu et al, 2020), therefore it results in financial wealth creation. In the similar vein, a lot of managerial research has focused on profit maximization and principal-agent theory, efficient resource acquisition, and cost reduction methods.…”

The contemporary global landscape is marked by unprecedented challenges, necessitating sustained endeavors toward fostering a sustainable future. In response, a plethora of conceptual frameworks have emerged, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals delineated in 2015. Among these emergent frameworks, civic wealth creation has garnered attention for its perceived efficacy in addressing multifaceted social, economic, and communal challenges, thereby fostering enhanced community well-being. Central to the civic wealth creation paradigm is the recognition of stakeholder collaboration as indispensable for the effective resolution of collective issues. This framework underscores the imperative of concerted collaboration among diverse stakeholders, including enterprises, regimes of support, and beneficiaries, in the pursuit of generating civic wealth. Social enterprises, positioned as hybrid organizations adept at navigating the nexus between economic and social imperatives, assume a pivotal role in facilitating stakeholder collaboration and engendering civic wealth. Against this backdrop, this study delves into the mechanisms through which social enterprises in Pakistan collaborate with diverse stakeholders to engender civic wealth, thereby contributing to the scholarly discourse on sustainable development and socio-economic transformation.

This study aimed to identify the boundaries between social entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship research through conducting a comparative analysis of international co-authorship networks. Analyzing 29,510 papers published in the Web of Science database from 1999 to 2021, this study utilized bibliometric analysis to examine international co-authorship networks, the strength of international co-authorship, and the top collaborative and collaborating countries. The results found that based on quantitative analysis, social entrepreneurship research focuses more on local challenges and less on international collaboration as compared to entrepreneurship research. Moreover, the findings reveal the involvement of developed countries in the international co-authorship for social entrepreneurship research field. This study sheds light on the characteristics of social entrepreneurship research, which focuses on local and regional challenges. Contrastingly, entrepreneurship research focuses on the globalized field while sharing information and technology. These insights could benefit researchers, practitioners, and educators in prioritizing globalization in entrepreneurship and localization in social entrepreneurship.
