TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensible bibliometric review of green energy adoption research and the determinants of GEA is presented, which will help scholars to obtain systematic knowledge and a structured understanding of GEE research and its determinants.
Abstract: Green energy has received extensive attention worldwide for its outstanding contributions to fighting environmental damage. However, in recent years, there have been indications that the outlook for social acceptance of green energy adoption (GEA) is not optimistic, and potential difficulties and challenges from various aspects are possible in the future. To this end, a growing body of literature explores the determinants of GEA that will push towards greater social acceptance. Taking into account the current lack of an accessible holistic overview of the knowledge structure of GEA research and its determinants, high-level insights urgently needs to be provided. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to conduct a comprehensible bibliometric review of GEA research and the determinants of GEA. First, with the help of different bibliometric analyses, an in-depth view of GEA publications, looking at active authors, highly productive countries/regions, the most relevant journals, citation structures, and GEA's thematic evolution, is visually presented. Second, further supported by a content analysis, this work sorts out and identifies the key determinants of GEA in terms of technical matters, adopter levels, corporate promotions, and environmental challenges. Finally, the existing knowledge gaps, as well as possible future research directions, are summarized based on the above findings. The work presented in this paper will help scholars to obtain systematic knowledge and a structured understanding of GEA research and its determinants.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of the evolving research on expatriation and its impact on business performance is provided, which is useful for scholars and practitioners in the field of HRM and International Business Management in order to advance into the next stage of development.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to provide a comprehensive review of the evolving research on a still key challenge for human resource management (HRM) in the globalized business of today: the expatriates and their impact on business performance. Research of four decades was reviewed to show what was known and what was not yet known. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to build a conceptual map of the evolving research. Up to 438 papers published in 104 different journals by 233 authors were analyzed. Most of the literature studies and research does not show a systematic approach, so this review may be useful for scholars and practitioners in the field of HRM and International Business Management in order to advance into the next stage of development on how to deal with and take advantage of hiring expatriates. Even after more than four decades of intensive research, the literature on expatriation is still nascent and requires higher order content. New contexts and organizations should be included in the research agenda, while an effort must be made in systematic approaches and in building higher order content in the international HRM field.

TL;DR: VOSviewer’s ability to handle large maps is demonstrated by using the program to construct and display a co-citation map of 5,000 major scientific journals.
Abstract: We present VOSviewer, a freely available computer program that we have developed for constructing and viewing bibliometric maps. Unlike most computer programs that are used for bibliometric mapping, VOSviewer pays special attention to the graphical representation of bibliometric maps. The functionality of VOSviewer is especially useful for displaying large bibliometric maps in an easy-to-interpret way. The paper consists of three parts. In the first part, an overview of VOSviewer’s functionality for displaying bibliometric maps is provided. In the second part, the technical implementation of specific parts of the program is discussed. Finally, in the third part, VOSviewer’s ability to handle large maps is demonstrated by using the program to construct and display a co-citation map of 5,000 major scientific journals.

TL;DR: The extent to which the process of systematic review can be applied to the management field in order to produce a reliable knowledge stock and enhanced practice by developing context-sensitive research is evaluated.
Abstract: Undertaking a review of the literature is an important part of any research project. The researcher both maps and assesses the relevant intellectual territory in order to specify a research question which will further develop the knowledge base. However, traditional 'narrative' reviews frequently lack thoroughness, and in many cases are not undertaken as genuine pieces of investigatory science. Consequently they can lack a means for making sense of what the collection of studies is saying. These reviews can be biased by the researcher and often lack rigour. Furthermore, the use of reviews of the available evidence to provide insights and guidance for intervention into operational needs of practitioners and policymakers has largely been of secondary importance. For practitioners, making sense of a mass of often-contradictory evidence has become progressively harder. The quality of evidence underpinning decision-making and action has been questioned, for inadequate or incomplete evidence seriously impedes policy formulation and implementation. In exploring ways in which evidence-informed management reviews might be achieved, the authors evaluate the process of systematic review used in the medical sciences. Over the last fifteen years, medical science has attempted to improve the review process by synthesizing research in a systematic, transparent, and reproducible manner with the twin aims of enhancing the knowledge base and informing policymaking and practice. This paper evaluates the extent to which the process of systematic review can be applied to the management field in order to produce a reliable knowledge stock and enhanced practice by developing context-sensitive research. The paper highlights the challenges in developing an appropriate methodology.

TL;DR: In a multi-unit organization, each unit can learn from each other and benefit from new knowledge developed by other units as mentioned in this paper, and knowledge transfer among organizational units provides opportunities for mutual learning and interunit cooperation that stimulate the creation of new knowledge and contribute to organizational units' ability to innovate.
Abstract: Inside a multiunit organization, units can learn from each other and benefit from new knowledge developed by other units. Knowledge transfer among organizational units provides opportunities for mutual learning and interunit cooperation that stimulate the creation of new knowledge and, at the same time, contribute to organizational units' ability to innovate (e.g., Kogut & Zander, 1992; Tsai &
