Abstract

Objective. To analyze information extracted from Scopus pertaining to the domain of sustainable entrepreneurship and to identify the structure of knowledge in terms of relevant topics and trends, prominent authors and countries of origin, and international collaboration.
Methodology. A bibliometric analysis was applied to describe and structure advances, th volume of production, and key contributors in the field examined. This domain is currently experiencing growth and has garnered scholarly attention due to its focus on accelerating the shift toward sustainability, primarily in the business, administration, and accounting areas. Results. Sustainable entrepreneurship addresses the challenges presented by current production and consumption patterns through the integration of environmental, social, and economic aspects into business practices. The study of sustainable entrepreneurship has
primarily centered on the sustainability of business models and the analysis of business ecosystems. Conclusions. Based on current research trends, advancements, and the organizational structure of entities engaged in this field, it can be inferred that sustainable
entrepreneurship represents a paradigm shift within the business and scientific domains.
Within this framework, impacts on the environment and communities are assessed in order to modify existing conditions through innovative approaches and the application of commercial and technological advancements.
