The Importance of Entrepreneurship and the Exploration of Future Development Directions

Entrepreneurship occupies an important place in the current dynamics of business and education. This research investigates the evolution of entrepreneurship research through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis. In an evolving global economic context, increased interest in entrepreneurship research has led to the use of Harzing Publish or Perish software to collect data from major research platforms such as Google Scholar, Scopus and Web of Science. A total of 920 relevant articles on entrepreneurship published between 2012 and 2022 were identified via Google Scholar. At the same time, entrepreneurship directions that need attention and can contribute to the entrepreneurial knowledge base were identified. In a landscape marked by rapid changes in information and communication technology, coupled with the significant influence of the digital economy, assessing the impact of these factors on entrepreneurship becomes essential. Using VOSviewer, we highlighted collaborations between authors, the impact of articles and key elements such as keywords in research. This research not only provides an overview of current entrepreneurship research, but also identifies unexplored areas and opportunities for future research directions. In conclusion, this review highlights emerging challenges and perspectives that can guide both academic research and entrepreneurship practice in the coming period.
