Visualization of Current Core Research Groups of Enterprise Risk Management

Through methods of visualization, maps of the core research groups of enterprise risk management (1994-2007) are drawn to identify the intellectual structure of current researches in the field of enterprise risk management. This study is based on bibliographic data retrieved from the Web of Science. The maps of the core research groups of enterprise risk management demonstrate the status of and relationships among 157 most cited authors. The present study also discusses the most cited papers of the most influential authors of each group and the main research fields of group representatives such as Porter Michael, Daniel Kahneman, Harry Markowitz, and Fisher Black. These authors have made great contributions to the development of current enterprise risk management, and the research fields of them deserve the attention of other researchers in the field of enterprise risk management.
