| Abstract | Purpose Over the last few decades, more emphasis has been placed on those innovations that can reconcile economic, social and environmental goals in order to achieve a "win-win-win" situation. This paper aims to systematise the scientific literature on Sustainable Innovation as a broad field in order to identify the most relevant scholars and their significant contributions as well as existing lines of research. Finally, future research directions are suggested. Design/methodology/approach A novel methodology, the Systematic Literature Network Analysis, has been applied. By using a dynamic approach to the traditional Systematic Literature Review, the present review investigates the creation, transfer, and development of knowledge throughout the epistemic community of Sustainable Innovation. Findings Starting from a sample of 1,108 articles, the critical assessment of the results detected five main themes: (1) "the role of Regulation, Market and Technology"; (2) "Eco-Innovation determinants and firm specific factors and the debate between corporate environmental performance and corporate financial performance"; (3) "Green innovation and internal and external drivers"; (4) "The strategic determinants of green (non-green) innovation"; (5) "The interplay between policy, regulations and the green innovation". Practical implications From a practitioner's perspective, this study provides an objective view on the current internal, external drivers and strategic determinants of sustainability-oriented innovations and relevant studies that can guide managers in their decision-making processes and enhance sustainable innovation performance. Originality/value This study is a first attempt to unveil the evolution of knowledge in the field of sustainable innovation by utilizing bibliometric tools. |
