Abstract

The Journal of Social Entrepreneurship (JSE) reached its 10th year of publishing in 2020. In recognition of this milestone, this study analyses 221 articles published in JSE during 2010–2020 employing bibliometric approaches to explore the trends and trajectories of JSE publications and culminate in a research agenda. Analysis uncovered an upward trend of publication growth underpinned by business management research, the dominance of North American and European contributions; and an imbalance of methodological diversity. Bibliographic coupling networks captured antecedents to social entrepreneurial process; social finance and investment; and social enterprise identity and legitimacy as the prominent themes emerged through this decade of research in JSE. Future research and publication areas were suggested along the lines of capturing context and mechanism of social entrepreneurial process and social change mechanism; increasing multidisciplinary perspective; developing a deeper understanding of entrepreneurship; advancing social entrepreneurship teaching practice and improving methodological diversity.

摘要

《社会企业家杂志》 (JSE) 于 2020 年出版了第 10 年。为了纪念这一里程碑，本研究分析了 2010-2020 年在 JSE 发表的 221 篇文章，采用文献计量方法来探索 JSE 出版物的趋势和轨迹，并最终得出一项研究议程。分析发现，在商业管理研究、北美和欧洲贡献占主导地位的支持下，出版物增长呈上升趋势；以及方法多样性的不平衡。书目耦合网络捕捉到社会创业过程的前因；社会金融和投资；在 JSE 的这十年研究中，社会企业身份和合法性成为突出的主题。沿着捕捉社会创业过程和社会变革机制的背景和机制的路线提出了未来的研究和出版领域；增加多学科视角；加深对创业的理解；推进社会创业教学实践并改善方法多样性。
