Abstract: Recently, the concept of entrepreneurial leadership has been gaining importance and emerging as a new area of inquiry in business and management studies. Scholars and researchers have started paying attention to and have come out with some research studies in this new field of inquiry. However, despite these studies, this concept is still ambiguous and is characterised by conflicting perspectives. The field is still in its nascent stage of conceptual and theoretical development. It is in this perspective the present paper aims to map the concept and contours of the different studies on entrepreneurial leadership through bibliometric analysis. Further, our bibliometric analysis has made an effort to identify and characterise the prominent publications, journals, and authors in the field of entrepreneurial leadership. The basic idea is to advance the understanding of entrepreneurial leadership, bring to surface the way the concept is unfolding itself and thereby provide directions for future research.

Keywords: entrepreneurship; leadership; entrepreneurial leadership; bibliometric analysis.
