PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the overall state and trends of the SDGs concerning business model backgrounds. Since the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by the United Nations in 2015, encompassing the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), there has been a substantial increase in publications highlighting the contributions of the SDGs. Recent research underscores the pivotal role of business models and management frameworks in advancing the SDGs. However, key information, such as theoretical approaches, the most influential authors, journals, articles, and keywords, has yet to be fully determined. To address this gap, a comprehensive analysis was conducted on 167 high-impact articles in the relevant field.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative bibliometric analysis (performance analysis and science mapping) with qualitative content analysis.FindingsBibliographic coupling analysis has illuminated the intellectual structure of the literature connecting SDGs and business models, revealing six primary clusters: frameworks, management systems and reporting tools; sustainable business models (SBMs); circular business models; stakeholder and community involvement, industrial ecology and consumption; inclusive and responsible innovation; and sharing and collaborative economy business models. For Ibero-America, these findings highlight both opportunities and challenges. While there is notable progress in advancing SBMs, the analysis also points to a lack of interlinkages between countries, suggesting potential barriers to knowledge exchange and collaborative innovation within the region.Research limitations/implicationsFor Iberoamerica, these findings highlight both opportunities and challenges. While there is notable progress in advancing SBMs, the analysis also points to a lack of interlinkages between countries, suggesting potential barriers to knowledge exchange and collaborative innovation within the region.Practical implicationsThe practical implications of this research are manifold. The identification of prolific authors such as Di Vaio, Palladino and Hassan, and leading journals such as Sustainability andJournal of Cleaner Production, underscores the importance of these sources for practitioners seeking to understand the intersection of SDGs and business models. The prominence of Spain and Italy, along with key institutions such as the University of Naples Parthenope and the Polytechnic University of Madrid, highlights regions and organizations that are at the forefront of this research. Practitioners can look to these sources for insights into effective strategies and frameworks for integrating SDGs into business practices. The prominence of certain clusters, such as SBMs and circular economy, suggests areas where businesses can focus their efforts to align with sustainable practices and leverage innovations in the field.Originality/valueThis study offers valuable insights into the evolving relationship between business models and the achievement of SDGs and proposes a novel research agenda for exploring this dynamic in Iberoamerica. ObjetivoDesde la adopci & oacute;n de la Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible por las Naciones Unidas en 2015, que incluye los 17 Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), ha habido un aumento significativo en las publicaciones que destacan las contribuciones de los ODS. La investigaci & oacute;n reciente subraya el papel fundamental de los modelos de negocio y de gesti & oacute;n en el avance de los ODS. Sin embargo, el estado de situaci & oacute;n y las tendencias sobre los ODS en relaci & oacute;n con los modelos de negocio siguen siendo inciertos, y a & uacute;n no se ha determinado informaci & oacute;n crucial como los autores, revistas, art & iacute;culos, palabras clave y enfoques te & oacute;ricos m & aacute;s influyentes. Para abordar esta brecha, se realiz & oacute; un an & aacute;lisis exhaustivo de 167 art & iacute;culos de alto impacto en el campo relevante.Dise & ntilde;o/metodolog & iacute;a/enfoque metodol & oacute;gicoEste estudio emplea un enfoque de m & eacute;todos mixtos, combinando an & aacute;lisis bibliom & eacute;trico cuantitativo (an & aacute;lisis de rendimiento y mapeo cient & iacute;fico) con an & aacute;lisis cualitativo de contenido.ResultadosEl an & aacute;lisis de acoplamiento bibliogr & aacute;fico permiti & oacute; descubrir la estructura intelectual de la literatura que conecta los ODS y los modelos de negocio, revelando seis grupos principales: (1) Esquemas y modelos de gesti & oacute;n, y herramientas de informes; (2) Modelos de negocio sostenibles; (3) Modelos de negocio circulares, (4) Participaci & oacute;n de los grupos de inter & eacute;s y de la comunidad, ecolog & iacute;a industrial y consumo, (5) Innovaci & oacute;n inclusiva y responsable, (6) Modelos de negocio de econom & iacute;a colaborativa.Para Iberoam & eacute;rica, estos hallazgos destacan tanto oportunidades como desaf & iacute;os. Aunque hay un progreso notable en el avance de los modelos de negocio sostenibles, el an & aacute;lisis tambi & eacute;n se & ntilde;ala la falta de interconexiones entre los pa & iacute;ses, sugiriendo barreras potenciales para el intercambio de conocimientos y la innovaci & oacute;n colaborativa en la regi & oacute;n.Originalidad/valorEste estudio ofrece valiosas perspectivas sobre la relaci & oacute;n evolutiva entre los modelos de negocio y el logro de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), y propone una nueva agenda de investigaci & oacute;n para explorar esta din & aacute;mica en Iberoam & eacute;rica.

Pesquisas recentes enfatizam o papel fundamental dos modelos de neg & oacute;cios e dos marcos de gest & atilde;o no avan & ccedil;o dos ODS. No entanto, o estado geral e as tend & ecirc;ncias dos ODS em rela & ccedil;& atilde;o aos modelos de neg & oacute;cios ainda s & atilde;o incertos, e informa & ccedil;& otilde;es cruciais, como os autores mais influentes, revistas, artigos, palavras-chave e abordagens te & oacute;ricas, ainda precisam ser determinadas. Para preencher essa lacuna, foi realizada uma an & aacute;lise abrangente de 167 artigos de alto impacto na & aacute;rea relevante.Desenho/metodologia/abordagemEste estudo utiliza uma abordagem de m & eacute;todos mistos, combinando an & aacute;lise bibliom & eacute;trica quantitativa (an & aacute;lise de desempenho e mapeamento cient & iacute;fico) com an & aacute;lise qualitativa de conte & uacute;do.ResultadosA an & aacute;lise de acoplamento bibliogr & aacute;fico iluminou a estrutura intelectual da literatura que conecta os ODS aos modelos de neg & oacute;cios, revelando seis clusters principais: (1) Marcos, sistemas de gest & atilde;o e ferramentas de relat & oacute;rios; (2) Modelos de neg & oacute;cios sustent & aacute;veis; (3) Modelos de neg & oacute;cios circulares; (4) Envolvimento das partes interessadas e da comunidade, ecologia industrial e consumo; (5) Inova & ccedil;& atilde;o inclusiva e respons & aacute;vel; (6) Modelos de neg & oacute;cios de economia colaborativa e compartilhadaPara a Ibero-Am & eacute;rica, esses achados destacam tanto oportunidades quanto desafios.
