Abstract :
This study is aimed at entrepreneurship research dynamics in 1992-2013. Data are based on the online version of the Web of Science (ISI Citation Indexes) and ProQuest Databases from 1992 to 2013 that published articles with titles about entrepreneurship. This study analytically uses the meta-analysis method mining out related entrepreneurship articles, through the bibliometric approach with organized relevant issues, themes, sub-themes, and perspective-based evaluation of the entrepreneurship field. The data shows research on entrepreneurship performance during the period 1992-2013. The academic research of entrepreneurship continued to slowly increase during 1992-2013, increasing significantly in 2008 and rocketing through the first decade of the 21st century. The results conclude four relevant themes and nineteen sub-themes. The core themes of entrepreneurship are entrepreneur issues, innovative issues, corporative issues, and business operations issues. This research will help researchers realize the panorama of global research entrepreneurship trends, issues, and themes in order to establish further research direction.
