Evolutionary development of resource security in the entrepreneurial activity

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to analyze the evolutionary development of key patterns of scientific publications devoted to resource security issues in an enterprise. Achieving the goal set was ensured by solving two tasks: first, to form a relevant sample of scientific articles; secondly, to analyze the coincidence of keywords to determine promising directions of research in economic security studies. The categories "security", "resources", and "enterprise"were chosen as keywords. Thus, a research sample was generated, which included 11,107 publications on this topic, indexed by the Scopus scientometric database, for the period from 2000 to 2022. The bibliometric analysis and visualization of its results were performed using the VOSviewer v.1.6.18 software product. On the basis of the visualization map, five stages of the evolutionary development of resource security issues in enterprise functioning were identified. The results of the research can be used in studying aspects of ensuring the resource security of economic entities.
