Abstract

This research investigates the evolution of research topics in the field of management in Greece, analyzing the period 2014–2023 and comparing the periods 2014–2018 and 2019–2023. Employing co-occurrence analysis on a substantial corpus of keywords, distinctive thematic clusters were identified for each period, reflecting shifts and patterns in research interests. In the 2014–2018 period, five clusters emerged, focusing on management practices, environmental sustainability, methodology and quality, strategic decision-making, and innovation. In contrast, the 2019–2023 period revealed four clusters emphasizing strategic decision-making in Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), sustainable practices and risk management, crisis response, innovation, and quality management. Common themes such as Sustainability and Knowledge Management persisted across both periods, signifying enduring research interests. This study contributes insights into the dynamic landscape of management research in Greece over these distinct timeframes.
