Information and communication technologies (ICT) has the ability to create value by enabling other frm capabilities. Based on the ICT-enabled capabilities perspective, this study explores the direct and indirect efects between lower- and higher-order capabilities, such as ICT, knowledge management capability (KM) and product innovation fexibility (PIF), on the performance of Ibero-American small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). This paper uses second-order structural equation models to test the research hypotheses with a sample of 130 Ibero-American SMEs. The results contribute to flling the gap in the SME-focused literature on empirical studies examining ICT-enabled capabilities and frm performance. The results show an enabling efect of ICT on higher-order capabilities, such as KM and PIF, which, by acting as mediating variables, create value and improve performance through innovation in frms.

Los estudios bibliométricos son una técnica utilizada para obtener una visión general del estado de la investigación en diversas disciplinas científicas. De un tiempo a esta parte, los estudios bibliométricos han aumentado considerablemente. Por ejemplo, en 2020 se publicaron 6 veces más estudios bibliométricos que hace 10 años (véase la figura 1). La comunidad científica de Business and Management también ha participado en este aumento. De hecho, se encuentran entre las disciplinas científicas con mayor productividad en este tipo de estudios. La evolución de las tecnologías de la información y la aparición de Internet son en parte responsables de este aumento. El desarrollo de diversas herramientas y programas informáticos especializados, la disponibilidad de datos/información en línea, han facilitado cada vez más la sistematización de la información, lo que ha impulsado el desarrollo y la publicación de estos estudios.

Sustainability, entrepreneurship and tourism, destination and hospitality research have attracted scholars’ attention for their relevance in bringing to fruition a future that links economic well-being with the environmental, cultural, and social sustainability of human beings. This article provides a bibliometric overview of the academic research where these topics intersect. To accomplish this, various bibliometric methods are implemented, which include a performance analysis and graphic mapping of the academic production in this specific topic. This research uses the Web of Science database to identify and classify the most preponderant investigations in the field and considers articles, authors, institutions, countries, and journals. To complete the performance analysis, a series of indicators, such as number of papers and number of citations, are used. Graphic visualization maps are produced using the co-citation and co-occurrence of keywords under the Visualization of Similarities—VOSviewer—software. The results show a growing concern for entrepreneurship in sustainable tourism development research, which is evidenced in the increasing number of studies during the last decade. Some influential research institutions and authors from countries including the USA, New Zealand, and Norway are found to be influential leaders in this topic. Additionally, the results show that journals from the area of hospitality, leisure, sport, and tourism are frontrunners in this subject.
