Abstract

A knowledge advantage is critical for organizations achieving sustainable development in the era of the knowledge-driven economy. Hence, it is worthwhile to explore and synthesize the existing research on knowledge advantage and clarify its conceptual basis and theoretical research. This study aims to systematically review research related to knowledge advantages and identify research gaps as well as future directions. A total of 51 studies were systematically reviewed by using CiteSpace v.6.3.R1, Biobliometrix R 4.2.3, and excel software. With the help of a bibliometric analysis, this study identified the keywords, research trend evolution, and co-citations in the field of knowledge advantage. By conducting a content analysis, this study summarized the measurement, antecedents, and outcomes of knowledge advantages. This paper can provide insight into the work that has been performed and avenues for future research.
