Abstract

The present study aims at showcasing the past and future trends in the knowledge area like entrepreneurial scalability which gets high attention of the research fraternity in the recent era. To fulfil the objective of the study, 537 articles firstly were collected from the Scopus e-database from 1980 to 2023 considering the searching tools like 'entrepreneurship' OR 'entrepreneurs' AND 'scaling' OR 'scalability'. From the collected data, 288 documents were finally considered for bibliometric analysis to visualise the research landscape through scientific mapping of 'VOSviewer 1.6.18'. The study portrayed maximum publication in 2022 though started its journey in 1980. Addressing more contributions from developed countries than developing ones, the study identified five clusters in different periods (entrepreneurial scaling vs. poverty, social impact of entrepreneurial scalability, scalability strategies, entrepreneurial sustainability, entrepreneurial skill and innovation) and motivated future research trends towards the theme of entrepreneurial scalability and sustainability.
