Abstract

This study aims to provide an overview of the most recent scientific studies about innovation management in small
and medium-sized enterprises. This review focuses on evaluating the intellectual structure and knowledge progress of innovation management in SME studies. Bibliometric analysis is used to quantitatively examine the bibliographic data gathered from the Scopus database and examine and evaluate 2647 research documents. To obtain the results, bibliometric analysis was conducted using Excel and VOS viewer software. In addition, this study discusses how the IM literature in SMEs has evolved between 2000 and 2024. The publications increased significantly from 2019 to 2024, and the leading and influential journals, affiliations, authors, and countries were identified. Innovation, SMEs, small and medium-sized enterprises, knowledge management, and Time are popular research and collaboration trends in the extant literature. Reflecting on the arguments in the previous literature, several research gaps and further suggestions are acknowledged for future studies
