Research on Innovation in China and Latin America: bibliometric insights in business, management, accounting, and decision sciences

Abstract

This study aims to comprehend the structure of RIBM (research on innovation in business and management) in China and LAC (Latin America and the Caribbean) via co-word and institutional co-authorship networks using Scopus' bibliographic data (1998- 2018). Multiple Correspondence Analysis and Social Network Analysis were applied. Public institutions are interconnected and generate most of the advances in RIBM. RIBM boards regional and national STi policies permeated by sustainability-related factors. China is focused on IT and knowledge management for supply chain and engineering, while LAC focuses on institutional perspectives for economic development.
