The article focuses on evaluating the customer value literature through bibliometric analysis to clarify its conceptual and empirical foundations. Topics include identifying key influences and co-citation patterns in the field; the evolution of customer value research over time; advancing an integrative framework that maps its complex relationships with other constructs; and suggest future research directions for enhancing understanding and application of customer value.

Research on international entrepreneurship has grown over the past twenty years but most attention has been paid to the economic perspective of the phenomenon. There is a lack of a holistic understanding of the intellectual structure that links sustainability with international entrepreneurship. Based on the bibliometric analysis of 1,918 articles with 104,004 citations, this study identifies important topics for three time periods spanning from 1993 to 2021: entrepreneurial orientation; institutional isomorphism and collective rationality; institutional voids; and institutional change and performance. Future directions of research are suggested by employing the Kuhnian approach to research development by: integrating the importance of stakeholders and institutions; linking institutions and the natural resource-based view; combining topics such as productive, unproductive, and destructive entrepreneurship with dynamic capabilities; comparing literature related to corruption, formal, and informal institutions with the natural resource-based view; and incorporating corruption, formal, and informal institutions with dynamic capabilities [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
