Resumen

Después de que el influyente trabajo de Shane en 2000 destacó la importancia de las oportunidades empresariales, el número de estudios centrados en las oportunidades empresariales aumentó rápidamente. En el campo se aportaron distintas definiciones de este concepto, que van desde las subjetivas hasta las objetivas, lo que generó una falta de consenso entre los investigadores y esto, a su vez, fue un obstáculo que frenó la teorización en el emprendimiento. Teniendo en cuenta las tendencias pasadas en las ciencias de la administración, parece ser el momento adecuado para reconceptualizar el constructo central de la oportunidad. La principal crítica de las definiciones existentes es su operacionalización. Para brindar una mejor operacionalización, el presente estudio tuvo como objetivo ofrecer una definición conceptual más precisa. Con este fin, el estudio examinó en primer lugar los debates actuales sobre las oportunidades que revelaron el principal problema que suscitan los debates. Luego, mediante una revisión sistemática de la literatura, de entre más de siete mil documentos en la base de datos Scopus que contienen palabras clave de oportunidad, se seleccionaron 74 artículos siguiendo diferentes fases de filtración. Los artículos se analizaron en detalle para extraer diferentes constructos. Luego, utilizando el marco de Hansen et al, se clasificaron en seis dimensiones. Se examinaron los conceptos de cada dimensión para finalmente proporcionar una imagen más amplia del constructo de oportunidad y ofrecer una reconceptualización. Los resultados de este estudio destacan las brechas para futuras investigaciones y preparan el terreno para otras revisiones sistemáticas de la literatura en este campo.
