A bibliometric analysis of the convergence between strategic planning and foresight with innovation management

Abstract

Introduction. The purpose of the present bibliometric study is to analyze the convergence between the concepts of strategic and prospective planning, with innovation management, through literature review in published research between the years 2003 and 2023 with the database managers Scopus y Web Of Science. Methods. The methodological approach used for this bibliometric study is qualitative, exploratory and descriptive, in which the previously described databases managers were used, together with VOSviewer software as tool to determine research trends in the area of previously selected concepts, and where the criteria of quality, quantity and structure were used as indicators of the search process and filter for the bibliographic documents consulted. Results and Discussion. In the process of analysis it is observed that authors René Rohrbeck, Dirk Meissner and Konstantin Vishnevskiy are the most representative in terms of documents and citations for the consulted period. Likewise, Germany, Russia, and England are the countries that generate the greatest number of publications around the terms raised. Similarly, synonyms for prospective were identified along with their respective descriptions, as well as the areas and factors in publications where these concepts converge, in order to serve as a basis for future research. Conclusions. It is concluded that bibliometric studies in underexplored areas such as innovation and foresight can generate country-level trends.
