Abstract

Corporate entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial orientation are widely studied concepts in the field of entrepreneurship related to the ability of established firms to innovate and adapt to change. The evolution of the literature has taken place in different areas of knowledge and disciplines, giving rise to the undifferentiated use of these terms, thus limiting the possibilities of generalizing the results. For this reason, several authors have established the need to further conceptualize these terms and the existing relationships between different constructs in order to consolidate and advance knowledge. The literature review shows that both concepts are closely interrelated and that, while corporate entrepreneurship has been used as a construct focused on the activities carried out by the firm resulting in innovation, business creation or renewal, entrepreneurial orientation has been approached as a behavior that characterizes the firm that has entrepreneurial initiative based on the exhibition of a predisposition towards innovation, risk taking, and proactivity. The aim of this study is to analyze the evolution of the thematic areas of interest of both constructs through the use of the most frequent keywords to characterize and differentiate both concepts. Through the comparative bibliometric analysis of the keywords, we aim to answer the question are the two concepts really the same, or if they are differentiated parts of the same phenomenon, and to contribute to the reduction of the dispersion generated in the attention of researchers in order to advance in the strengthening of their conceptual structure.

企业创业和创业导向概念演变之旅:一种比较方法
企业创业精神和创业导向是创业领域中被广泛研究的概念,与成熟企业的创新和适应变化能力有关。文献在不同的知识领域和学科中不断演变,导致这些术语的使用不尽相同,从而限制了归纳结果的可能性。因此,一些作者认为有必要进一步将这些术语和不同概念之间的现有关系概念化,以巩固和推进知识。文献综述表明,这两个概念是密切相关的,企业创业被用作一种结构,侧重于企业开展的创新、业务创造或更新活动,而创业导向则被视为一种行为,是企业在表现出创新、承担风险和积极主动倾向的基础上具有创业主动性的特征。本研究的目的是通过使用最常见的关键词来描述和区分这两个概念,从而分析这两个概念所关注的主题领域的演变情况。通过对关键词的文献计量学比较分析,我们旨在回答这两个概念是否真的相同,或者它们是否是同一现象的不同部分,并有助于减少研究人员的注意力分散现象,从而进一步加强它们的概念结构。

期刊介绍: The International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal (IEMJ) publishes high quality manuscripts dealing with entrepreneurship, broadly defined, and the management of entrepreneurial organizations. The journal will expand the study of entrepreneurship and management by publishing innovative articles based on different perspectives using a variety of methodological approaches and showing the practical implications of the research for its readership. IEMJ is unique; providing a multi-disciplinary forum for researchers, scholars, consultants, entrepreneurs, businessmen, managers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship. The journal covers the relationship between management and entrepreneurship including both conceptual and empirical papers, leading to an improvement in the understanding of international entrepreneurial perspectives of the organisations concerned. Entrepreneurial studies are important in creating new economic activity that in turn increases innovation, employment, economic wealth and growth. The journal focuses on the diverse and complex characteristics of entrepreneurship in SMEs and large companies in local, regional, national or international markets that lead to competitiveness in the face of the effects of globalization. Though preference will be given to manuscripts that are international in scope, papers focused on domestic contexts and issues are welcome also, in order to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and potential generalizability of findings worldwide. IEMJ will publish original papers which contribute to the advancement of the field of entrepreneurship and the interface between management and entrepreneurship, as well as articles on business corporate strategy and government economic policy. On occasions, the journal will also feature case studies of successful firms or other cases having important practical implications. The journal places great emphasis on the quality of the papers it publishes. Submission of a paper will imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Officially cited as: Int Entrep Manag J
