国外企业治理研究的发展特征和演变趋势——基于Web of Science的文献计量分析

The Development Characteristics and Evolution Trends of Foreign Corporate Governance Research—Bibliometric Analysis Based on Web of Science

以Web of Science数据库中的相关论文为研究样本,以CiteSpace软件作为分析工具,对国外企业治理研究进行知识图谱分析和文本分析,探索其发展特征与演变趋势。研究发现:国外企业社会治理研究涉及的学科领域较为丰富,虽然主体合作网络还有待进一步发展,但是相关核心机构群已然形成。“资本构成”“利益管理”“企业社会责任”“法律”等话题是研究重点,受到国外学界持续关注。从演变趋势来看,国外对该领域的研究主要分为三个阶段,分别是1999年到2004年的初步探索阶段、2005年到2017年的稳步发展阶段和2018年到2023年的深入研究阶段。

This study takes the relevant papers in the Web of Science database as the research samples, and uses CiteSpace software as the analytical tool to conduct knowledge mapping analysis and text analysis of foreign corporate governance research to explore its development characteristics and evolution trends. The study found that foreign corporate social governance research involves a relatively rich range of subject areas. Although the main cooperation network needs to be further developed, the relevant core institutional groups have already been formed. Topics such as “capital composition”, “interest management”, “corporate social responsibility” and “law” are the focus of research and have received continued attention from foreign academic circles. From the perspective of evolution trends, foreign research in this field is mainly divided into three stages, namely the initial exploration stage from 1999 to 2004, the steady development stage from 2005 to 2017, and the in-depth research stage from 2018 to 2023.
