| Summary: | A variety of studies are being developed to investigate sustainable
business models. This research is part of a wider one and aims at the theoretical
deepening of the existing paradigms in the literature. The realization of the
bibliometric analysis in the field of sustainable business models was mainly
influenced by the extent of this type of business models. The data in this study were
collected through the use of bibliometric tools, identifying and then analyzing the
most influential and cited publications from the Scopus and Google Scholar Metrics
platforms for the same time periods. The keyword phrase was searched in the
databases as a first step that initiates the continuation of this analysis. This action
helps to obtain valuable data for the purpose of this study. The inspiration of the topic
is guided by two objectives formulated in the form of research questions: In empirical
studies how is the sustainability of a business evaluated? What are the dimensions
that lead to the sustainability of business models, the focus on which can reveal
previously unexplored directions? We emphasize that from the total of 20 studies
selected for the bibliometric analysis, 14 of them are original articles and 6 are review
analyses. Some criteria or exponents of research units serve to conclude the findings
and conclusions of the bibliometric analysis. The construction of a comprehensive
visual analysis represented in the following figures and graphs corresponds precisely
to the results achieved by this research. Then, in this framework we integrate the
framework findings-results for the search for sustainable business models. The
findings of this study indicate that the trend of the production of academic studies in
the field of sustainability of business models is relatively positive. We aim to identify
the state of research and the possibility of completing it with a current documentary
or empirical analysis useful for the two countries, Romania and Albania. On
sustainable business models, in the future we propose to do a case study on the
evolution of the production activity system from eco-design and the effective
implementation of eco-innovative practices in these two countries, in order to
capitalize on the results obtained from the bibliometric analysis. |
