Investment efficiency, Co-citation analysis, Multidimensional scalingAbstract
This research pioneers a shift in investment efficiency exploration by transcending traditional measurement approaches. The study identifies three main research areas: (1) Factors influencing investment efficiency, (2) Competition, green Research and Development (R&D) and cooperation in the supply chain, and (3) Environmental and renewable considerations in investment efficiency. This is achieved through a document co-citation analysis of 38 highly cited documents. Multidimensional scaling visually maps the intellectual landscape, emphasising the dominance of factors influencing investment efficiency. A 10-year analysis reveals dynamic trends with implications for financial transparency, strategic ownership, social responsibility and technological advancements. The study offers actionable insights for scholars and practitioners, emphasising the necessity of aligning financial goals with sustainability. Despite acknowledged limitations related to data source bias, this research contributes a nuanced understanding of investment efficiency trends, paving the way for future explorations in this vital domain.
