Abstract

The paper aims to conduct a thorough bibliometric study to investigate and comprehend how sustainable entrepreneurship contributes to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Sustainable entrepreneurship has evolved as a fundamental force behind positive social, environmental, and economic change, and sustainable development has become an urgent worldwide priority. We looked at a total of 1,357 papers on sustainable entrepreneurship that were published between 2002 and 2022. 679 of them have articles devoted explicitly to the SDGs. The Dimension database was used to locate prolific writers, sources, and influential articles interested in this field. According to the report, the SDGs SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) have been the most strongly impacted by sustainable entrepreneurship research. The most critical piece was likewise highlighted in the study as ”Sustainable Entrepreneurship and Sustainability Innovation: Categories and Interactions.” The study uncovered Several essential research areas, including social entrepreneurship, innovation, impact investing, the plastics industry, the triple bottom line, supply chains, sustainable business, business networks, competitiveness, innovative economies, social efficiency, entrepreneurial marketing, and small and medium-sized enterprises. This study fills a vacuum in the existing literature by thoroughly reviewing the significant players and using a co-word analysis to pinpoint new research themes. This research seeks to clarify the contributions of sustainable entrepreneurship to the SDGs to promote future advancement and well-informed decision-making in sustainable development initiatives.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
