Investigación sobre iniciativa empresarial (2000-2014) en las seis principales revistas de administración brasile?as: lagunas y direcciones

摘要

This article presents a systematic review of entrepreneurship research published in the Top six Brazilian Journals of Administration (TBJA) - Revista de Administra??o de Empresas, Revista de Administra??o, Revista de Administra??o Contemporanea, Brazilian Journal of Public Administration , Brazilian Administration Review, and Organiza??o & Sociedade, during the period 2000-2014. It aims to identify gaps and directions for Brazilian entrepreneurship research to become a relevant area within the field of Administration. The results highlighted the following gaps: (i) few entrepreneurship publications within the TBJA; (ii) impact of the TBJA production is low compared to international journals focused exclusively on entrepreneurship; (iii) prevalence of qualitative methodological approaches. As directions, the results show: (i) to give preference to empirical studies carried out by rigorous methodologies (longitudinal, secondary data and experimental design); (ii) realization of empirical studies extending the theoretical basis of the existing literature; (iii) establishment of entrepreneurship research lines in Master/Doctoral Programs. This article contributes theoretically by identifying research gaps and directions, and by conducting a critical analysis of the entrepreneurship research and practice to give a perspective to researchers and first time authors to produce high impact papers.
