Purpose: In recent years, the Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE) has been an emergent field related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). In current business models, organizations need to be part of the digital transformation and create value for customers, which has caused an increase in the number of scientific publications on the KBE. This study aims to analyze the research trends of the scientific literature on the KBE published between 1986 and 2021. Design/methodology: A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Scopus database. The results were analyzed based on quantity, impact, and structure indicators and topics. In addition, this paper proposes a research agenda for future studies in this field. Findings: The study of the KBE has attracted the interest of the scientific community, especially in 2006, 2010, and 2011. This literature review shows that developed countries (e.g., Poland, Romania, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany) have researched this field the most. Terms such as knowledge-based systems, knowledge management, and information management have become more common in the literature and are setting trends. These terms refer to essential components for the advancement of the KBE as an approach that can dynamize the economic development of organizations and countries. Originality/value: This study contributes to the literature because it analyzes the theoretical evolution of the KBE field. In addition, it proposes an agenda for future studies to advance the research fields related to the Triple Helix model of innovation in developing countries

Objective: To carry out a mapping of studies on innovation and public policies, presenting an overview of the scientific discussion on the topic to suggest proposals for future studies. Design/methodology/approach: A bibliometric study, through exploratory factor analysis, with the objective of identifying the path that the phenomenon takes. For this, we use the techniques of citation, co-citation and bibliographic coupling. Originality: Given the economic, social and technological importance of innovation, public policies appear as engines of the development of innovation, thus reinforcing the need to identify unexplored paths through the mapping of studies on the theme to identify unexplored paths. Results: We identified the basis on which the theme studied was developed. Thus, three factors were observed: Economic Development, Innovation Ecosystems and State Participation. In the coupling analysis, we identified four factors, namely: Entrepreneurship, Changes in Public Policies, Networks and Clusters and Knowledge Source. Looking to the future, some study trends were presented, highlighting a new research agenda. Theoretical and methodological contributions: We present some study trends on innovation and public policies, warranting a new research agenda. Management contributions: This research enables managers and decision makers to understand the aspects regarding the theme, so that they can develop strategic innovation actions with the support of public policies.

The literature recognizes and correlates the power of innovation and entrepreneurship as enabling factors for the economic development of localities. Aiming to examine the prevalence of such relationships, this paper aims to explore the development phenomenon of Brazilian cities considered the most innovative and entrepreneurial, aiming to identify the implications of stimulating technological entrepreneurship on the socioeconomic development of these cities. In the initial bibliometric survey on the themes discussed in Brazilian cities, no scientific papers were identified that explored the three constructs simultaneously, and established comparisons that could indicate some kind of relationship between them. Understood as an original gap, this absence inspired the preparation of the present article. To this end, a mixed approach and exploratory-descriptive research was adopted, using as a basis for comparison the Ranking of the Most Innovative Cities; Most Entrepreneurial Cities Index, FIRJAN Municipal Development Index, Human Development and Gini Coefficient. The cities with an outstanding position in one of the analyzed indexes were examined. The theoretical review allowed the formulation of four hypotheses that were tested and compared to the adopted indexes. The results obtained indicate that the most innovative and entrepreneurial municipalities have high Human Development Index, with emphasis on the dimension of Education, indicating that the training of quality human resources is a relevant asset in the context of innovation and entrepreneurship. However, it was not possible to confirm the relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship with economic development in those municipalities, since the cities with the highest economic development did not appear in the ranking of most innovative cities and in the Index of Most Entrepreneurial Cities, which indicates that it is a potentially valuable object for future studies.

BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Among these impacts, those related to the SDG 8 can be highlighted. Consequently, the literature has addressed aspects related to economic growth and decent work. OBJECTIVE: This article aimed to evaluate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on decent work according to the literature. METHODS: For this, a bibliometric analysis was conducted. Data from Web of Science were collected, and VOSviewer software was used to perform the analysis. RESULTS: Regarding the results, four main clusters that govern the subject were identified. A first cluster (identified in red) evidenced the consequences of the pandemic to the generation of informal work, increasing poverty and the impacts on gender issues. A second cluster (identified in blue) addresses mental health and stress issues, especially for nurses professionals who experience a situation in the COVID-19 pandemic. The green cluster focused on unemployment, precarious employment, and work conditions, which were highly related to coronavirus contagion. Finally, the yellow cluster evidenced the final consequences when there is a substantial public health problem. CONCLUSIONS: The results presented here can be helpful to researchers interested in the, as it allows a broad and condensed view of important information about a relevant topic for sustainable economic development.

The aim of this investigation is to identify the relationship which can be found in the literature between creative tourism and local development, using a bibliometric inventory made in scientific databases (Academia.edu , Econlit, Google Scholar, CAPES Journals, Redalyc, Scielo.org , SCOPUS, and Web of Science, among others) as research method. In general, it was possible to verify that there is a concern of the authors of the papers analysed in establishing a link between creative tourism and local/regional development, without, however, going very far on this relationship, or, at least, when it came to identifying the impacts of economic, cultural, social and environmental nature. This being said, it seems to be relevant that future research takes a deeper look at the hypothesised relationship between the proposals of creative tourism and the benefits it can bring to local communities.
