Abstract

One of the primary goals of a country is to increase the real income of its people in convenient free market conditions and the long run. Global competitiveness is also related to the ability to produce goods and services following the standards of international markets. Objective: The main purpose of this research is to reveal and make the bibliometric analysis of the publications, researchers, related institutions, countries and their connections published in the field of global competitiveness between 1991-2021 through visual mapping. Method: The current data of the research were collected from the publications indexed in the Web of Science database in January 2022. We analyzed the data according to inclusion and exclusion criteria of 613 articles published in 426 journals. In the research, we made common word analysis of key concepts, citation analysis, common citation analysis, institution/university analysis, and country analysis of publications on "global competitiveness." Findings: The findings determined that those working on the concept of global competitiveness discussed the basic assumptions of global competitiveness and the basic concepts in this field together. Another finding is that the interest in global competitiveness is increasing day by day, and the interest in the subject is relatively higher in developing and developed countries. Originality: Co-author and citation analyses show that researchers from different universities and countries have a working culture. In addition, the interest shown in the issue of global competitiveness shows that scientific institutions have an important place in the development of global thought.
