Bibliometric Analysis to Understand the Role of Innovation on the Sustainability of Social Entrepreneurship

Abstract

Social entrepreneurship has been extensively researched. However, because they only take into account a small portion of the corpus of sustainable social entrepreneurship, present assessments are only partially complete. To close this information gap, this study aims to conduct a thorough review that will provide a cutting-edge synopsis of social entrepreneurship, sustainability, and innovation. This study evaluates academic studies on big data analytics used for social entrepreneurship, innovation, and sustainability in order to achieve this. This study also analyses the methodological choices and research environments, as well as the top articles, journals, organizations, and countries that contributed to the subject of social entrepreneurship. This report also sheds light on four key areas of social entrepreneurship research: sustainability, enterprise, entrepreneurship, and innovation. The current analysis makes various recommendations for future sustainable social entrepreneurship research to advance the field, including creating and disseminating novel sustainable, innovative techniques, enhancing and managing the profitability and returns of social entrepreneurship, increasing the sustainability of social entrepreneurship, and creating & unifying policies & frameworks for social enterprise.
