Hardships and Challenges Faced by Entrepreneurs of MSME: A Bibliometric Review and Future Research Agenda

Year: 2023

Type: article

Abstract: The current study aims to thoroughly evaluate the available literature on the hardships and challenges that India's micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) encounter, specifically from 1990 to 2022. Very few studies have used bibliometric analysis to investigate the hardships and difficulties experienced by Indian entrepreneurs. The current research examines 702 articles taken from the Web of Science database using VOSviewer to display the data. Analyses of keyword co-occurrence, co-citation, journals, and co-authorship were included in the study. Further, a hypothetical CHRYSALIS Model is proposed to assess and visualise the hurdles of Indian MSMEs for giving sustainable solutions for its future development.
