Abstract

This study seeks to systematize and integrate the scientific knowledge about the social and environmental impact of entrepreneurship. It does so by performing a bibliometric analysis and a systematic literature review of 172 journal articles. The study provides an overview of the current knowledge on the topic by identifying four thematic clusters: “social entrepreneurship for societal impact”, “entrepreneurship for sustainable development”, “female entrepreneurship for institutional change”, and “entrepreneurship for inclusive regional development”. It further reveals that entrepreneurship literature predominantly focuses on social impact, with less emphasis on environmental impact, and it stresses the need for future research to avoid working in silos. In particular, it suggests that the boundaries between the different impact domains are elusive and that the interlinkages between social, environmental, and economic impact should be further explored. Finally, it proposes that further studies need to increase clarity in the conceptualization and operationalization of impact in entrepreneurship research, as well as to pay more attention to the negative impact of entrepreneurship.

创业的社会和环境影响:回顾与未来研究议程
本研究旨在系统整理和整合有关创业对社会和环境影响的科学知识。为此,本研究对 172 篇期刊论文进行了文献计量分析和系统的文献综述。本研究通过确定四个主题集群,概述了当前有关该主题的知识:"社会创业促进社会影响"、"创业促进可持续发展"、"女性创业促进制度变革 "和 "创业促进包容性区域发展"。报告进一步揭示,创业文献主要关注社会影响,而较少强调环境影响,并强调今后的研究需要避免各自为政。报告特别指出,不同影响领域之间的界限难以捉摸,应进一步探讨社会、环境和经济影响之间的相互联系。最后,报告建议进一步的研究应提高创业研究中影响概念化和操作化的清晰度,并更加关注创业的负面影响。

RMS also encourages the submission of papers combining ideas and/or approaches from different areas in an innovative way.

The scientific standards of RMS are guaranteed by a rigorous, double-blind peer review process with ad hoc referees and the journal´s internationally composed editorial board.
