Authors : Mecibah Souad . Djeffal Khalid .

Abstract

This study aims to review the literature on venture capital investments. The study utilizes both content and bibliometric analyses to comprehensively examine research on venture capital investments. The content analysis uses selected literature review studies, while the bibliometric analysis uses data from 319 publications from 1982 to 2022 extracted from the Scopus database. The content analysis of literature reviews reveals significant scholarly interest, especially regarding performance determinants, decision criteria, and value creation impacts. Case study approaches leveraging analytical models prevail, though many areas remain unexplored due to evolving dynamics. The bibliometric analysis uncovers rising attention since 2007, with peaks in 2005, 2006, and 2021. Dominant topics include venture capital, investments, firms, entrepreneurship, performance, and later, collaborations and startups. Citation patterns highlight networks, spatial distributions, performance, development roles, and startup financing as crucial subjects.
