Abstract

Bu çalışma, girişimcilik eğitimi ve inovasyon stratejilerinin tarihsel gelişimini ve literatürdeki mevcut durumunu bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle incelemektedir. Girişimcilik eğitiminin bireylerin yaratıcı düşünme, risk alma ve etkili karar verme gibi becerilerini geliştirdiği, girişimci niyetleri güçlendirdiği ve ekonomik çıktılara katkı sağladığı vurgulanmaktadır. İnovasyon stratejileri ise işletmelerin rekabet avantajı elde etmesinde ve sürdürülebilir bir yapı kazanmasında kritik bir role sahiptir. Literatürde, girişimcilik eğitimi ve inovasyon stratejilerinin entegrasyonunun birey ve kurumların yenilikçi ve uyumlu bir yapı sergilemesine olanak tanıdığı belirtilmektedir. Araştırma, 2003-2025 yılları arasında Web of Science (WoS) veri tabanında yayınlanmış 271 akademik dokümanı analiz etmiştir. Araştırma görselleri R ve Rstudio programları yardımıyla elde edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, girişimcilik eğitimi ve inovasyon stratejileri alanında uluslararası işbirliklerinin güçlü olduğunu ve bu konuların akademik çevrede giderek artan bir ilgi gördüğünü ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, "innovation", "performance" ve "strategy" gibi anahtar kelimelerin bu alandaki temel araştırma odakları olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma, girişimcilik eğitimi ve inovasyon stratejilerinin entegrasyonunun bireysel ve örgütsel düzeyde yenilikçiliği artırabileceğini ve bu iki alanın birlikte ele alınmasının eğitim politikaları ve akademik çalışmalar için önemli bir rehber olabileceğini göstermektedir. Elde edilen bulguların, girişimcilik ve inovasyon süreçlerinin daha verimli hale getirilmesi için gelecekteki araştırmalara ışık tutması beklenmektedir.

A Bibliometric Analysis on Entrepreneurship Education and Innovation Strategies in Wos (2003-2025)

Abstract

This study examines the historical development and current status of entrepreneurship education and innovation strategies in the literature through bibliometric analysis. It is emphasized that entrepreneurship education improves individuals' skills such as creative thinking, risk taking and effective decision making, strengthens entrepreneurial intentions and contributes to economic outputs. Innovation strategies, on the other hand, have a critical role in helping businesses gain competitive advantage and gain a sustainable structure. In the literature, it is stated that the integration of entrepreneurship education and innovation strategies enables individuals and organizations to exhibit an innovative and adaptive structure. The research analyzed 271 academic documents published in the Web of Science (WoS) database between 2003 and 2025. Research visuals were obtained with the help of R and Rstudio programs. The results reveal that international collaborations in the field of entrepreneurship education and innovation strategies are strong and that these topics are receiving increasing attention in academia. Moreover, keywords such as “innovation”, “performance” and “strategy” were found to be the main research foci in this field. The study shows that the integration of entrepreneurship education and innovation strategies can increase innovation at the individual and organizational level and that addressing these two areas together can be an important guide for educational policies and academic studies. The findings are expected to shed light on future research to make entrepreneurship and innovation processes more efficient.
