Tendências do empreendedorismo corporativo: um estudo bibliométrico

Abstract

Corporate entrepreneurship presents itself as an opportunity for professionals to innovate within their organizations. In this context, companies encourage their employees to innovate by proposing different ways of making the company's processes, products and services. This search for innovation generates not only competitiveness among companies, but also offers opportunities for its employees to implement their own ideas within the company. To understand this innovation scenario, the objective with this article is to identify and analyze the academic production on the theme “Corporate entrepreneurship” in the last 20 years, available in Anpad's electronic library - SPELL, in order to understand the interest in the theme corporate entrepreneurship by the Brazilian academy. For this, the research method used was bibliometric research. The empirical laws of three authors were applied, namely: the law of productivity of authors proposed by Lotka (1926), followed by the law of dispersion of periodicals of Bradford (1934) and by the law of frequency of the words of Zipf (1949). The aim was to obtain a database on what is being produced in the country and to categorize the works by titles, year of publication, authors, citations, educational institutions, approaches, types of research, keywords, general objectives, journals, technical procedures, themes and subthemes and works used in their production. Thus, in the present research, the following findings stand out: the three authors who publish the most are also the most cited confirming Lotka's law, the evolution of the term "corporate entrepreneurship" to "intrapreneurship" and the interest in publications about intrapreneurship in bodies public.
