This work, following the conceptual recombination theory, by which ideas and concepts
are mentally merged to transform and extend knowledge, explores and summarizes
the current sources of academic literature, simultaneously engaging research in the fields
of entrepreneurship and creativity. A bibliometric co-citation analysis was applied to
identify the invisible colleges and the latent relationships among the most significant
papers. Multivariate analyses including cluster, latent class, multidimensional scaling,
and Pathfinder were combined to map the nodes positioning the literature. The goal
of this study is (1) to increase the awareness of scholars by detecting and visualizing the
intellectual structure of the shared ground among both sets of literature; (2) to identify
the connected schools of thought, methods, constructs, and theories to problematize or
literature gaps to be filled; (3) to reveal the network structure the central, bridge, and
peripheral nodes and to hypothesize trailblazing trends, sidings, or forgotten contributions;
and (4) to generate, thanks to a creativity grant, new insights to enable entrepreneurs
to explore new frontiers. Using creativity techniques and a panel of experts
in support, 26 keywords were generated, extracted, assessed and exploited to identify the
research unit of 1533 articles. Following a further evaluation process, 73 major co-cited
items were finally selected. Given the transverse nature of the creativity domain and of
the search for academic interdisciplinary comminglings, data were collected from Science
(SCI), Social Sciences (SSCI) and Arts and Humanities (A&HCI) citation indices for the
1991-2013 period.
