Abstract

This study aims to examine the connection between business models and social enterprises through a bibliometric approach. By analyzing 356 articles from Scopus and Web of Science and using bibliometric mapping via VOSviewer, it identifies key themes and existing research gaps. The findings reveal interconnected topics such as business, strategic management, hybrid organizations, value creation, and design, alongside emerging issues like design innovation, performance, community and economic development, entrepreneurial competence, and sustainable circular economy. Limitations include the restricted range of data sources and literature scope, highlighting the need for future empirical studies on the practical application and impact of business models in social enterprises. Practically, the study provides valuable parameters for social enterprises to design effective business models, while socially, it supports the pursuit of meaningful impact through balancing financial and social goals. Its main contribution lies in mapping current themes and offering a theoretical foundation for future research on business models in the social enterprise context.
