Abstract

Although firm-level innovation is an essential determinant of sustainable growth in rural areas, the literature on this subject is lacking a state-of-the-art systematic literature review in the context of rural zones. The aim of our study is (1) to describe the firm-level innovation research in rural areas over time, presenting the leading journals and authors; (2) to reveal the intellectual structure of the firm-level innovation field, providing an integrated framework of antecedents and outcomes of firm-level innovation in rural areas; (3) to identify research gaps and recommend a research agenda for advancing the study of firm-level innovation in rural areas. Drawing on articles (N = 152) published in top-ranked sources, our study conducts a systematic literature review through bibliometric and content analysis of material published between 2003 and 2023. Our study significantly contributes to the innovation field by adding value to our understanding about the firm-level innovation discipline in rural areas.

重新审视农村地区公司层面的创新研究：系统文献综述与未来研究方向

尽管企业层面的创新是农村地区可持续增长的一个重要决定因素，但有关这一主题的文献却缺乏以农村地区为背景的最新系统文献综述。我们的研究旨在：（1）描述长期以来农村地区企业级创新研究的情况，介绍主要期刊和作者；（2）揭示企业级创新领域的知识结构，为农村地区企业级创新的前因和结果提供一个综合框架；（3）找出研究差距，为推进农村地区企业级创新研究提出研究议程建议。我们的研究通过对 2003 年至 2023 年间发表的文献进行文献计量和内容分析，对排名靠前的资料来源发表的文章（N = 152）进行了系统的文献综述。我们的研究为创新领域做出了重大贡献，增加了我们对农村地区企业级创新学科的理解。
