Discovering the evolution of resource-based theory: science mapping based on bibliometric analysis
Discovering the evolution of resource-based theory: science mapping based on bibliometric analysis
A great number of papers published on resource-based theory (RBT) have shaped its popularity and usefulness as a strategic approach. This study contributes to the literature by reviewing and evaluating the development of RBT research. Using a bibliometric analysis, we analyzed 2771 primary focal articles published between 1991 and 2020 and 103,796 secondary references. Our research reveals the status of RBT research by identifying the influential publications, authors, countries, institutions, and journals in this field. Based on the bibliometric analysis results, we suggest the future agenda of RBT research. Complementing previous qualitative literature reviews and quantitative meta-analyses, our study provides a systematic and dynamic understanding of RBT research.

Abstract
A great number of papers published on resource-based theory (RBT) have shaped its popularity and usefulness as a strategic approach. This study contributes to the literature by reviewing and evaluating the development of RBT research. Using a bibliometric analysis, we analyzed 2771 primary focal articles published between 1991 and 2020 and 103,796 secondary references. Our research reveals the status of RBT research by identifying the influential publications, authors, countries, institutions, and journals in this field. Based on the bibliometric analysis results, we suggest the future agenda of RBT research. Complementing previous qualitative literature reviews and quantitative meta-analyses, our study provides a systematic and dynamic understanding of RBT research.
