Abstract

The main objective of this study is to systematically examine research reference trends in sustainable competitive advantage management from 2012 to 2022. This research will focus on the development trends of sustainable competitive advantage management research on data-driven Scopus. A mixed method approach was used in this study, combining bibliometric methods and a literature review. This research utilized 62 data points gathered via web scraping and sourced from the Scopus database from international publications with the keywords sustainable competitive advantage management from 2012 to 2022. According to the findings of this study, several fields of study dominate studies on sustainable competitive advantage management, including management, human capital, business, economics, finance, the environment, infrastructure, food security, the public sector, and technology. According to the study's findings, at least four major perspectives are dominantly used in discussing this issue. Furthermore, this analysis reveals that the most frequently discussed contexts are interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary issues. This means that when discussing an issue, a study will usually use more than one point of view. The research's limitation is the scope of the articles used, which were sourced from the SCOPUS database. It is strongly advised to conduct future research using a broader literature source. Furthermore, the study's findings can be used to generate hypotheses, and extensive and systematic follow-up research is being conducted. The study's findings are expected to be useful to academics interested in studying sustainable competitive advantage management.
