Abstract
Research on gazelles (high-growth) companies has been increasing exponentially in the last decade. It is especially evident from 2013 onwards. This article offers an overview of academic literature development published from 2000 to 2021 regarding Gazelles firms in 84 peer-reviewed articles from the Web of Science. We applied a novel methodological approach to compare results from different bibliometric analyses using VOSviewer software, analysing three indicators, journals, articles, and author by citations, co-citations, and bibliographic coupling. We also analysed the co-occurrence of keywords Plus. The results provided four thematic clusters: entrepreneurship, performance, innovation, and dynamics. We presented the most relevant contributions and a future research agenda for each cluster to address the field gaps.
