Abstract
The knowledge-intensive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems literature is evolving in quantity and popularity in academia. Assuming that the studies on these themes are closely related and are still under development, this research seeks to determine how the intellectual framework of knowledge-intensive innovative entrepreneurship (KIE) is framed. The goal is to map bibliographic production by referring to the knowledge-intensive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem. We adopted the bibliometric method of citation and cocitation to analyze scientific publications from 2010 to 2020 in journals indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database. An exploratory factor analysis identified three clusters by stimulating the creation of new ventures and knowledge flow and sharing. The first cluster alludes to the impact of knowledge on economic activities; the second explores the entrepreneurial ecosystem; and the third is more heterogeneous and leads to the theoretical and critical aspects of KIE. This study provides an opportunity to analyze the relationship between knowledge-intensive innovation and the entrepreneurship ecosystem. Thus, this study may guide researchers to access the microfoundations of knowledge-intensive innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems in their future studies once it reveals seminal research on this specific domain.
期刊介绍:
Competition in international markets was traditionally the realm of large companies, with smaller firms tending to remain local or regional. Internationalisation was an expansion option of interest to some enterprises, but seldom was it a competitive necessity. Many opted to avoid the uncertainties of competing in foreign markets, and simply kept their firms small and local. Traditional internationalisation theories, therefore, focused mainly on large multinational corporations, and were less pertinent to smaller firms. With the liberalisation of trade, however, domestic firms are threatened by international competitors that are penetrating formerly protected markets. Nowadays, internationalisation affects everyone, whether or not they wish to internationalise themselves. The threats and opportunities of internationalisation must be addressed.
Globalisation is transforming the competitive environment of small and large players alike. As a result, internationalisation issues will continue to be increasingly important to business. Public policy agendas already include programmes to help entrepreneurs become successful at internationalisation. There is a growing need to understand internationalisation in the context of entrepreneurship, as well as large multinationals.
Knowledge of how, when and why firms internationalise - either incrementally or not - will surely be the focus of energetic researchers. Yet, up to now, academia has been lacking a journal dedicated to internationalisation issues. To fill this niche, the aforementioned editorial team wishes to offer an outlet for high-quality research addressing the opportunities and challenges intrinsic to internationalisation.
The primary audience for this journal will be researchers of entrepreneurship and international business. In addition, readership is certain to include business-people and policy-makers.
The editors invite submissions that analyse internationalisation, combining theore tical and empirical work. Researchers will be encouraged to conduct comparative studies, and to evaluate competing theories. The composition of the editorial team - including experts in international business and experts in entrepreneurship - is designed to avoid editorial bias. Every effort will be made to reach a first decision about a submission, within sixty days.
