STAKEHOLDER THEORY—SYSTEMIC LITERATURE REVIEW
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Stakeholder Theory breaks away from classical notions of the management of the time to
bring ideas that are so innovative that they are still used today. The main one is the one that
proposes the extension of the conception of who are the key pieces for a company. The present
investigation sought to explore and analyze the literature related to the Stakeholder Theory,
using bibliometric analysis as methodology. This study aims to use a systematic approach to
perform the literature review and a mapping of the most relevant research studies. In this
sense, a rigorous research protocol based on scientific documents published in the Web of
Science database was used. The collected documents are located within a time basis between
1989 and 2020. In the result obtained (n=155), only articles that were analyzed using the R
Bibliometrix tool were included. The analysis of these publications points to a growing trend in
the publication of articles on the Stakeholder Theory. Through the bibliometric analysis of the
results of the global research we highlight the most cited authors, the publications of the authors
over time, and we also highlight the main research themes and countries where studies were
conducted. On the other hand, we also highlight the network of collaboration between
institutions, authors, and countries over time
