Abstract

The collaborative economy is experiencing a remarkable surge, offering vast potential for growth. Consequently, this burgeoning movement has become a focal point of interest in the realm of entrepreneurship. However, numerous unexplored or inadequately addressed research gaps persist, leaving us without a well-defined paradigm for what we can term the entrepreneurial collaborative economy. In light of these challenges, this study embarks on a quest to bridge these gaps through a comprehensive systematic literature review. Two research objectives guided our endeavor: (1) mapping the literature related to the collaborative economy in the field of entrepreneurship to propose a research taxonomy, and (2) analyzing areas in this field that warrant further research. Our literature review, conducted using the PRISMA methodology, yielded 407 studies. Employing advanced textometric techniques, we uncovered a research taxonomy consisting of three distinct clusters within entrepreneurial collaborative economy studies. In particular, our investigation has unveiled that the entrepreneurial collaborative economy paradigm remains in a state of emergence within the academic literature. The paper concludes with thought-provoking discussions and key insights.
