Mapping the Corporate Learning Research Landscape: A Bibliometric Analysis of Trends, Themes, and Collaborations

Abstract

Corporate learning research is a constantly changing field influenced by organizational development and new learning methods. As this field matures, it becomes increasingly important to understand its dynamic research landscape to identify current trends, emerging challenges, and potential opportunities. This paper fulfills this critical need by conducting a bibliometric analysis of corporate learning research publications. The study uses the Scopus database to analyze various scholarly outputs, including peer-reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and academic books. This work aims to uncover important research themes, outline changing trends, and highlight the most influential authors and institutions, shedding light on how these elements have evolved. The research uses co-authorship networks to reveal collaboration and knowledge exchange patterns among scholars, underscoring the potential for future synergies and advancements within the field. Moreover, exploring concept co-occurrence networks provides a detailed view of foundational ideas and their interconnections within the corporate learning research domain. This analysis summarizes the current state of corporate learning research and maps its path, providing a valuable resource for corporate executives, organizational leaders, educators, researchers, and policymakers aiming to navigate and contribute to this dynamic and constantly evolving landscape.
