Abstract
This study presents a scientometric analysis of the interrelationship between socioemotional wealth, innovation, and family businesses, based on 298 articles published between 1975 and 2022. Grounded in the theory of socioemotional wealth, it investigates how emotional and social resources within family businesses influence innovation and, consequently, business success. The methodology includes statistical and graphical analysis to identify publication trends, collaboration networks, and key themes. Results reveal a significant increase in recent academic production, highlighting the growing relevance of these concepts. Four thematic clusters are identified, emphasizing the importance of socioemotional wealth and innovation in the management of family businesses, providing a solid foundation for future research and business practices.
