The Evolution of ERP and Organisational Agility: A Bibliometric Analysis and Mapping of Research Trends

Abstract

This article examines the evolution and structure of scientific research on ERP systems and organisational agility between 2013 and 2023. Drawing on a corpus of 550 scientific publications from Scopus, a bibliometric analysis carried out using the VOSviewer software enables an examination of publication trends, scientific collaborations and the main thematic and intellectual structures within the field. The results reveal an uneven growth in scientific output, characterised by a surge in publications towards the end of the period. The mapping highlights diverse international participation, but a dispersed distribution of authors with no visible connections within the network under study. The keyword analysis identifies three major research directions relating to ERP systems, decision-making processes and organisational agility in the context of digital transformation. Co-citation networks reveal an interconnected intellectual base, situated at the intersection of information systems and management sciences. This study contributes to a better understanding of the organisation of the scientific field and identifies several avenues for further analysis of its developments.

Keywords: ERP systems; Organisational agility; Bibliometric analysis; VOSviewer; Scientific mapping.
