| dc.description | Objective: This study analyzes the evolution of scientific literature on B Corporations and their five core dimensions—governance, community, workers, environment, and customers—in relation to corporate sustainability, aiming to identify research trends and knowledge gaps in this field.Design/methodology: A scientific data mining process was conducted using the Scopus and Web of science databases. Three specialized bibliometric tools—Biblioshiny (R interface), VantagePoint, and VOSviewer—were employed to analyze 98 high-impact journal articles published between 1991 and 2023.Findings: China and the United Kingdom lead global research on corporate social responsibility and sustainability. Keyword co-occurrence analysis revealed that sustainable development, sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and environmental performance are the predominant themes. Among these, the strongest relationships, in descending order, were observed between B Corporations and sustainable development, sustainability, and corporate social responsibility.Conclusions: Research on B Corporations has exhibited a fragmented approach to key thematic intersections, such as corporate governance and social responsibility, stakeholder groups and their theoretical frameworks, and sustainability and sustainable development. Future studies should explore these intersections more comprehensively, particularly the relationship between corporate governance, social responsibility, and stakeholder engagement.Originality: This study offers novel insights into the conceptual dimension of B Corporations and their alignment with corporate sustainability, contributing to the development of a future research agenda in this domain. | en-US |
| dc.description | Objetivo: esta investigación analiza la evolución literaria presentada en torno de las empresas B y sus cinco dimensiones (gobierno, comunidad, trabajadores, medioambiente y clientes) relacionadas con la sostenibilidad empresarial, identificando patrones científicos y brechas en el conocimiento.Diseño/metodología: se realizó una minería de datos científica de las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science (WoS), utilizando tres herramientas informáticas especializadas: la interfaz del software R Biblioshiny, Vantage Point y VOSviewer. Se tomó como intervalo las últimas 4 décadas y se identificaron 98 artículos de revista de alto impacto.Resultados: los países que lideran la investigación mundial en tópicos como responsabilidad social corporativa y sostenibilidad son China y Reino Unido. Los temas principales, de acuerdo con el análisis de coocurrencia de palabras claves, son el desarrollo sostenible, la sostenibilidad, y la responsabilidad social corporativa junto con el desempeño ambiental; la mayor relación presentada entre estas temáticas es en su respectivo orden con empresas B, desarrollo sostenible, sostenibilidad y responsabilidad social corporativa.Conclusiones: las investigaciones actuales sobre empresas B han tratado de forma desarticulada las temáticas en torno al gobierno corporativo y su responsabilidad social, los diferentes grupos de interés con sus teorías, y la sostenibilidad con el desarrollo sostenible. Por tanto, futuras líneas de investigación se pueden realizar analizando la relación entre el gobierno corporativo y la responsabilidad social junto con los grupos de interés.Originalidad: este trabajo realiza relevantes aportes sobre la dimensión de las organizaciones B y su relación con la sostenibilidad empresarial generando una agenda futura sobre futuras investigaciones. | es-ES |
