Abstract

Abstract
Purpose: The current research was conducted with the aim of a comprehensive analysis of the field of "resilience of start-up businesses" through co-citation analysis of authors and co-occurrence analysis of keywords based on the information of Web of Science during the years 1995-2022 and to provide a path for future research.
Methodology: To collect data, the current research used the documentary method, and the method of scientometric analysis with the help of Vosviewer software was used to analyze the data.
Findings: Research paths of 876 articles in 6 research areas: "management, business, environmental studies, environmental sciences, green sustainable science technology, economics as the most visited resilience study areas in Web of Science; A co-citation analysis of the cited documents on "start-up business resilience" is presented. In this network, among the 28,298 cited references, authors who shared at least 30 citations were cited, which made the number of articles reach 46 nodes. in this review, three clusters were identified: "resilience and global crises", "resilience and sustainability of the supply chain" and "resilience and economic effects".In the first research path that deals with crises in the field of resilience; Resilience is an effective factor for start-up businesses in conditions of uncertainty and crisis.
In the second path of research; Most of the research focused on the area of "supply chain resilience". These researchers consider resilience as a latent and path-dependent ability that cannot be measured directly. In this field, few studies of risk management literature have empirically separated the concepts of resilience and sustainability. However many studies; Supply chain connection and information-sharing resources are considered to lead to increased resilience and sustainability in the business supply chain field.
The third path is related to research that addresses the key concept of "economic effects" in the resilience of start-up businesses. The construct of resilience in this context of entrepreneurship research has been used synonymously with preparedness, tenacity, persistence, or self-efficacy to explain why some entrepreneurs and their companies perform better than their non-resilient counterparts, and how the characteristics of cognitive entrepreneurship and distinctive forms of entrepreneurship, such as social entrepreneurs, They strengthen companies to adapt to new conditions and contribute to long-term sustainability through innovation
. Also, 45 countries had international cooperation in this field in 7 clusters, among which the countries of America, England, and Australia have cooperated the most in producing documents in this field. In the Co-occurrence analysis of keywords, 5 clusters include: "Supply chain resilience with a view to the future" "Covid-19 crisis resilience and "economic vulnerability", "resilience success and sustainability factors", "resilience research and development", "infrastructure" Resilience" was determined. The first cluster includes skill, backgrounds, capabilities, conflicts, disruptions, system capability, company performance, future, effects, innovation, integration, knowledge management, logistics, organizations, supply chain management, supply chain resilience, technology, and uncertainty with the title: Supply chain resilience is introduced with a view to the future. The next cluster titled: "Covid-19 crisis resilience and economic vulnerability" includes keywords: start-up businesses, start-up business resilience, covid-19, crises, crisis management, crisis resilience, economic resilience, employment, companies, entrepreneurship, government, growth, knowledge, trend, epidemic disease, resilience, tourism, vulnerability. The third cluster also includes keywords: behavior, business continuity, social resilience, perception, performance, positive motivation, resource-oriented perspective, effectiveness, stress, success, sustainability, and progress, which is introduced as "resilience success and sustainability factors". The fourth cluster includes big data, design, disruption, resilience, framework, industry, management, mitigation, model, risk, strategic and supply chain, which is titled "resilience research and development", and the fifth cluster includes keywords: adaptation, capacity, Networks, risk management, dynamics, social investment, sustainability, transformation, trust, infrastructure. The title is: "Resilience Infrastructure".
Conclusion: The results showed that the scientific developments in the field of resilience since the COVID-19 crisis and the need to form electronic businesses have caused researchers to adopt a new research path. Attention to artificial intelligence and resilience as a new topic is of interest to researchers in this field. Today, a new wave of developments in the field of resilience of start-up businesses, which is influenced by artificial intelligence (AI), affects all businesses and industries and can disrupt previous strategies and operational models and provide a new definition of resilience in the future. Therefore, identifying the appropriate platform in the field of research and implementation of resilience in the world with the help of scientometrics; can lead to taking appropriate actions that will provide the growth and stability of businesses as much as possible.
