Abstract

The topic of startup success is receiving more and more attention from scholars, although there are still no comprehensive studies on this topic. This study contributes to this research gap by collecting the studies of scholars from the Southeast Asia (SEA) region from the Scopus dataset from 2001-2020. This study focuses on solving problems related to the topic: overall volume, growth pattern, geographical distribution, the most important source (journals or conferences), authors and research groups (through number of published documents and citations), documents (through number of citations and number of citations per year) and topics (through frequency of keywords. Excel and VOS viewer tools are used to process the data and extract the maps.

Research purpose:

Brief description of research purpose

The purpose of research is to examine the interest of Southeast Asian scholars on the topic of startup success. Startups are mentioned as organizations in the broader theme of entrepreneurship.

Main findings:

Brief description of main findings.

The study focuses on four main aspects: (i) overall volume, growth pattern and geographic distribution of the extant publications on start-up success, (ii) Scientific collaboration network analysis, (iii) the most important outlets, research groups and publications on startup success, (iv) the most important research topics on startup success.

In addition, the study also highlights the lack of research on measuring startup success rating, written by SEA regional scholar.

Practical/managerial implications:

Brief description of practical/managerial implications

Research shows that despite growing interest from the academic community, the startup’s successful knowledge base does not include academics and research teams who are actually productive and engaging in the topic. Research results suggest future research topics, with emphasis on measuring startup success rating.
