CAMPIGOTTO-SANDRI, Emanuel; CACIATORI-JUNIOR, Itamir; CHAPAVAL-PIMENTEL, Pedro  and  MEIRA-TEIXEIRA, Rivanda. Social entrepreneurship and social innovation: A bibliometric analysis. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.157, pp.511-524. ISSN 0123-5923.  https://doi.org/10.18046/j.estger.2020.157.3886.

Despite the existence of systematic reviews or bibliographic studies on social entrepreneurship and social innovation in isolation, few studies address these two issues together. The objective of this study was to map an academic production on social entrepreneurship and social innovation with a bibliometric technique as a research method. The Scopus database was used for the analysis of citations, co-citations, and textual analysis. Results point to the growth in scientific interest in analyzing these two issues together. However, it is observed that the emphasis of these studies is on social entrepreneurship and that social innovation appears as a secondary aspect, characteristic or result of the entrepreneurial process.

Keywords : social entrepreneurship; social innovation; bibliometrics.
