New media research in business and management fields: A bibliometric analysis

Abstract

Recently, research on new media has grown rapidly. However, business and management research categories that focus on new media have not received much scholarly attention. To improve our understanding of the structure of this research area within other disciplines, this chapter focuses on revealing the bibliometric structure of the documents. An overview is provided in terms of the documents that are located under the business and management categories of Web of Science. This chapter reviews 62 documents with a focus of revealing descriptive outputs. Accordingly, the authors and the most relevant approaches are mapped within the field. The analysis identifies top contributors and their field of studies. Also, conceptual and intellectual structures are revealed. Findings uncover research topics and theoretical foundations of the field and how certain conversations pursue them through different conceptualizations. Building on the results, future research opportunities are also identified. © 2021, IGI Global.
