Entrepreneurship Studies in The Sultanate of Oman: A Scoping Review of 20 years publications

Abstract

This research focuses on entrepreneurship studies and its related concepts in the Sultanate of Oman by looking at the key concepts, and main context of the selected studies. This research adopted a scoping review approach utilizing both Scopus and Web of Science as sources of documents. The study highlights several aspects, such as study concept(s), study trend by years, study design, population, contextual, document type, affiliation, source title, publisher, and source of database. The reviews included articles published for the last 20 years with English language. After filtration, the total number of qualifying documents was (n=96) out of 133 in both datasets. The method section is derived from the PRISM-ScR checklist table. The findings show a fluctuation in publication trend as the highest publication was in 2018. In terms of study population, most studies focused on students followed by entrepreneurs and other types of the population. About study design, quantitative studies were predominantly employed by the scholars more than qualitative, as studies done in higher educational initiations were more than schools by focusing on students rather than teachers. Many standout concepts were discovered, including entrepreneurship, women's entrepreneurship, entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurial intention, the entrepreneurial ecosystem, and technology. Dhofar University had the highest affiliation among other scholars affiliations.
