Organizational Knowledge Assessment: A Bibliometric Analysis of the Literature

Organizational knowledge management and assessment are one of the biggest challenges for organizations, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Hence, the literature largely contributed to its importance. The present study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis inherent to assessing organizational knowledge using the Scopus database and the Bibliometrix R software. It is intended to establish the number of existing publications on the topic under analysis, the trends in terms of publications and collaborations between countries, the most relevant publications and authors in the area, the definition of clusters associated with the research, and the interconnections between authors, keywords, and publications. The 59 publications were then examined with Bibliometrix software, which included extensive parameterization of each component under evaluation. The analysis of the scientific production has established that 2015 was the year with the most publications in the area, with the United States of America, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Australia representing the countries with the most considerable contributions. One major limitation in this study could be addressed in future research. The study focused on a limited business, management, and accounting field, so it would be pertinent to understand how this topic has evolved, particularly in computer science.
