In 1972, the first coastal zone management law in the world was approved in the United States. Fifty years later, its influence on other national and international legislation is clear, but how this law has influenced the scientific community is not yet determined. Through a scientometric analysis based on the Web of Science and Scopus databases, over 11,340 bibliographic references were consolidated and refined to extract those directly related to legal aspects of coastal management. A final set of 135 scientific documents published between the years 1974 and 2022 were analyzed with the tool Core of Science®. As a result, the Tree of Science was obtained, which identifies the precursory (roots), axis (trunk), and promising (leaves) documents related to coastal regulation. Another output was a compilation of the scientific production over the last 50 years as documented in both databases, allowing us to extract the countries, journals, and authors who were most productive in advancing research on the legal issues of ICZM. Moreover, co-authorship networks were identified based on the most active geographical regions and authors. In the end, a brief reflection is provided about the influence that a legal instrument can have on the scientific community and vice versa.

 

 

This article exposes the formulation of a relational model that allows in any type of organization the practical development of the concepts proposed by the theory of Dynamic Capabilities, to be integrated as a management strategy that allows for increasing the levels of competitiveness and business survival, for which a qualitative study was carried out under the methodology of bibliometric analysis and documentary review of more than 500 relevant scientific documentary sources through an analytical and interpretive synthesis of the most significant arguments. Among the most important results of this study, it stands out the power to establish the most representative results of recent years, a relational model that identifies each of the steps and key factors that any type of organization must develop, to achieve the postulates that it exposes. The theory of dynamic capabilities is based on concepts such as organizational learning, absorbing knowledge, innovation, value-added, adaptability, business competitiveness, internationalization, and survival.

 

 

Due to its adaptability in being relevant to the economies of different countries, industries, and research fields, the creative economy (CE), a driving force behind the national economy for sustainable development, has recently garnered the attention of the academic community. This research examines the intellectual structure of this field using the Scopus database in the subject area of business, management and accounting. This study uses bibliometric analysis, a cutting-edge and rigorous technique for the exploration of scientific data. The employed methodology entails an organized and open procedure broken down into four phases: (1) search criteria; (2) selection of database and documents; (3) selection of software and data pre-processing; and (4) analysis of results. We use two approaches to learn about their structure by evaluating performance and observing their various connections through bibliometric mapping. The findings indicate that the creative economy is a burgeoning area of research, with 687 articles, 1340 authors, and 64 nations represented. In addition, the creative economy, the cultural industry, human capital, management, entrepreneurship, and business models are research topics. This study has several implications because it offers an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the trends in this topic, making it a helpful tool for researchers. It also identifies gaps in the literature that lead to possible lines of investigation in future studies.

 

 

The objective of this research was to review the manuscripts registered in the Scopus database related to business ecosystems during the period 2018–2022. A total of 96 documents were selected and examined under a bibliometric and bibliographic approach. The results showed an annual growth rate of 13.21%. The United Kingdom (n = 22) led the countries with the most documents, computer science (n = 40) is the subject area with the most publications, and articles (n = 61) and conference papers (n = 23) dominated the types of documents. The nine most studied topics were innovation ecosystems, collaborative ecosystems, sustainable business ecosystems, digital business ecosystems, ecosystems of the Internet of Things, circular ecosystems in companies, regulatory frameworks for digital business ecosystems, resilience of business ecosystems, and ecosystems in smart cities. Six unexplored themes were extracted for future research: ICT industries, smart contracts, electric vehicles, serious games, energy, and blockchain. It should be noted that this study is one of the most up to date, and 85.5% of the 96 publications were original studies, i.e., valuable information that supports the results.

 

 

Network data maps constitute a practical visual data-classification tool in structuring complex research literature endowed with multiple economic, social, and psychological relationships, as happens with the evolution of digital entrepreneurship as a research topic in the COVID-19 era. Has the digitalization process, accelerated by COVID-19, influenced entrepreneurship by strengthening digital entrepreneurship worldwide? Is innovation the most-cited keyword in the digital entrepreneurship-related literature published in the SCOPUS database from 2001 onwards? Does pay-per-click as an instrument for digital entrepreneurship management foster sustainable development? To answer these questions, we combine a software tool for constructing and visualizing bibliometric networks, VOSviewer version 1.6.18, with the SCOPUS bibliographic data tool to investigate the keyword ‘digital entrepreneurship.’ As a result, we obtained 2154 documents in the SCOPUS database for 2001–2022 in all 27 subject areas, of which 1055 documents were from BMA (Business, Management, and Accounting) and EEF (Economics, Econometrics, and Finance) areas. Regarding the keyword ‘pay-per-click,’ we obtained 63 papers for 2005–2022 from BMA and EEF subject areas. We find that there is a growing interest in researching digital entrepreneurship led by authors from the European Union and followed by the United States; innovation is the most-cited keyword in documents related to digital entrepreneurship, and researchers worldwide are giving more importance to the process of digitalization compared to the link between educational, economic, and technological factors and digital entrepreneurship. Regarding ‘pay-per-click,’ we find that the literature published on this topic is broadly based on the US, and given the small number of publications on this issue, it is a research area with great potential to investigate and publish about it.

 

 

Cooperation in research, development and innovation (RD&I) between universities or research institutes and industries plays a fundamental role in the economic development of a country. Industry benefits from state-of-the-art laboratories and technologies from academia, while institutes learn about business reality and market needs. Numerous barriers to the establishment and maintenance of these partnerships have been investigated and reported in the literature, but the information generated by these empirical studies is very fragmented and there is a need to consider the barriers systematically in order to clarify the topic. The aims of this systematic review were to analyze university-industry collaborations set up for the purpose of RD&I in an effort to recognize the barriers and facilitators of the process and to identify the approaches by which such barriers may be overcome. Following searches of the Scopus database and application of the exclusion criteria, 86 relevant articles were identified and submitted to bibliometric analysis. Subsequently, 75 articles were selected for in-depth content analysis, and the ideas embodied therein were presented in a structured and comprehensive manner. Barriers were evaluated according to three different theoretical perspectives, namely the triple helix and the entrepreneurial university, the relational social capital and value creation, and technology transfer and cultural differences. The facilitators were categorized as internal and external. The results obtained highlight the importance of fostering relational social capital and providing tax incentives to facilitate industry’s pursuit of innovation through academia partnerships, and also show that collaborative barriers in RD&I may be overcome to some extent by starting with smaller projects and gradually increasing their complexity. Based on the findings outlined in this review, we propose various lines for future research.

 

 

The study aims to investigate innovation and its influence on business performance through a bibliometric analysis of scientific production from the year 2000 to the year 2022. In this process, a consulting of a set of Specialized scientific publications was in the Web of Science database. It found 1,996 documents, of which a base sample of 548 was to the bibliometric analysis. Evaluation of the international scientific contribution took place. The annual scientific production, the journals with the most publications, the country’s production, the most cited documents, the most relevant words, the network of keywords used by the authors, and the collaboration network by country, among other variables, were examined. The results highlighted that the most significant scientific production was between 2018 and 2021, with 344 records. China reached the best quantity of products with 591, and in the United States, 460 products. The most cited author was Teece, D.J., with 4,794 citations, followed by Jiménez-Jiménez, D. with 650, and Matsuno, K. with 498. The conclusion was that innovation impacts business performance with an upward trend because it strengthens the development of organizations.

 

 

This text addresses possible implications, in the academic management of twelve universities of Greater Sao Paulo / SP – out of a total of eighteen -, of the results produced by Sinaes, in their evaluation processes of higher education, and stems from the research entitled “The evaluation of higher education in Brazil: system adopted by the federal government and use of its results in institutional management “. The research sought to know the effects and initiatives that Sinaes has been inducing in the academic management of higher education institutions from the perspective of university leaders, with the aim of analyzing the implications of the consolidation of the higher education evaluation system in Brazil, aiming to explain the use the results of institutional evaluations – internal and external – identifying management initiatives practiced in public and private universities. Methodological procedures can be inscribed in policy evaluation with a focus on analyzing the use of their results. Twelve Universities participated, of which five private, four public and three denominational. Managers acknowledge that Sinaes impacts on academic management, and in private institutions, it seeks to meet legal requirements, in public, there is an effort to incorporate evaluation processes in institutional dynamics and confessionals punctuate the lack of consideration by the specific pedagogical projects they develop.

 

 

at current global competitive markets characterized with new regulations, higher education institutions require management systems to assure the achievement of goals and objectives. Thus, quality in processes and work routines imply systems certified in ISO 9001 or 21001 from external parties. This study analyzes the impact of process management and strategic planning on educational quality of 48 public universities in Mexico that belong to a national association and hold ISO 9001:2015 certifications. The objective is centered in determining the effect of process management and strategic planning on educational quality. By using partial least squares structural equation modelling through Smart PLS, results indicate that process management has a positive impact on educational quality; while strategic planning has no impact on the dependent variable. In one hand, the significant result of process management on educational quality is consistent with literature about quality management systems at higher education institutions. In the other hand, the non-significant impact of strategic planning on educational quality is consistent with studies including public institutions with budgets not dependent on institutional performance or student admissions.

 

 

The objective of this research was to investigate which indicators facilitate or are barriers to Knowledge Management and which therefore behave as enablers or inhibitors of innovation and social effectiveness in higher education institutions in Brazil and Portugal, in the perception of managers in education. It is a quantitative study operationalized through a survey with descriptive purpose. Data were collected through questionnaires and their treatment was operated on electronic spreadsheets. The results showed that both the Brazilian and the Portuguese higher education institutions have a satisfactory performance in knowledge management, especially in the process of knowledge acquisition. However, the section that deals with knowledge assessment, and which is related to the strategic process, showed that the organizational strategy has not taken on the role of a learning process overtime, which can compromise innovation capability and social effectiveness of institutions in the future. Through this study, facilitating indexes and knowledge management barriers were identified in the public service of education in Brazil and in Portugal.
