Abstract

Purpose

This study scrutinizes the evolution of thematic directions in the domain of growth-oriented women entrepreneurship research over the past two decades. Furthermore, it explores the implications of this evolution for future research and practical endeavors.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors conduct a bibliometric analysis of 741 publications from 2004 to 2023. The analysis first examines publication numbers and identifies important journals and articles based on performance analysis. Moreover, using science mapping techniques, the study provides four thematic maps organized into five-year periods, as well as a Sankey diagram.

Findings

The analysis reveals a significant surge in research activity, particularly since 2014, in terms of both the quantity and diversity of themes. The findings show that in 2004–2008, six themes were driving the research domain, but in 2019–2023, the number of themes increased to 24. Moreover, this study offers a holistic perspective on prospective research directions, emphasizing two key themes: emerging economies and sustainability.

Originality/value

This study makes an important contribution by bringing together scholarship on women entrepreneurs and growth-oriented ventures. These themes can be a significant factor in stimulating new approaches to economic growth when considered together. Moreover, this study emphasizes the need for a more diverse and inclusive research environment.

释放潜力：以增长为导向的妇女创业文献计量分析

本研究对过去二十年来增长型女性创业研究领域主题方向的演变进行了仔细分析。作者对 2004 年至 2023 年的 741 篇出版物进行了文献计量分析。分析首先考察了出版物的数量，并根据绩效分析确定了重要的期刊和文章。此外，该研究还利用科学制图技术，提供了按五年期划分的四幅主题图以及桑基图。研究结果分析表明，特别是自 2014 年以来，研究活动在主题的数量和多样性方面都出现了显著的激增。研究结果表明，2004-2008 年，推动研究领域发展的主题有 6 个，但在 2019-2023 年，主题数量增至 24 个。此外，本研究还对未来的研究方向提供了一个整体视角，强调了两个关键主题：新兴经济体和可持续发展。原创性/价值本研究汇集了有关女性企业家和成长型企业的学术成果，做出了重要贡献。如果将这些主题放在一起考虑，它们将成为促进经济增长新方法的重要因素。此外，本研究还强调需要一个更加多样化和包容的研究环境。
