Abstract

Entrepreneurial resilience is essential to SMEs' success and long-term viability, especially when faced with competitive pressures and economic uncertainty. The resilience of their leaders and staff is critical to SMEs' capacity to weather economic downturns, adjust to shifting market conditions, and seize new opportunities. Because of the rapidly expanding and multidisciplinary nature of the research, a bibliometric analysis was carried out, as it is crucial in the field of entrepreneurial resilience. The Scopus database provided the bibliometric information used in this investigation. The results highlight the most significant writers, organizations, and geographical areas that contribute to the field, as well as trends in keyword co-occurrence and citation. The results and limitations of this study can be taken into consideration for future research.
