A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS ON MALAYSIA LISTED COMPANIES
Abstract
This study maps and analyses the bibliometric analysis of family-controlled firms among Malaysian listed companies based on observation from article title on September 23, 2020. We examine the timeframe of publication, subject areas, influential affiliation, frequent keywords and the importance of network visualization maps. Thus, influential contributions, university affiliations and research networks are discussed. The review examines 49 documents from 65 subject areas, indexed in the Scopus and Web of Science databases between 2006 and 2020. Interestingly, there is an emerging development of family-controlled firms in general, and the leading scholars strongly interconnected.
