Abstract:
MSMEs play a vital role in the development of any economy. It arranges for
employment, generates resources for income and eliminates poverty. The extent of
available literature reveals the under exploration of this construct; researchers
are motivated to analyze the existing literature based on bibliometric analysis and
to identify the scope of future research in this area. The purpose of this paper is to
streamline the concept of corporate social responsibility in context of MSMEs for
19 years of publications, based on bibliometric analysis after identifying the most
protuberant articles, journals, research papers on Scopus only. Research is
restricted to Scopus publications. The researchers review a series of publications
on the theme Corporate Social Responsibility and MSMEs. The extent of available
literature reveals the under exploration of this construct; hence researchers are
motivated to analyze the existing literature on this construct. Researchers record
the authors, journals, countries, number of publications in different years and
different disciplines on this sheer important topic. The result of this study will help
in synthesizing the existing literature of corporate social responsibility and its
effective implementation in MSMEs and clarifying the scope of future research in
this area.
