Abstract

Currently, there is a compelling need to understand the factors influencing the success or failure of new businesses, particularly those created by people with disabilities. This paper, thus, aims to identify the main variables reported in previous studies into entrepreneurship and disability and analyse how they can be used to strengthen the entrepreneurial processes of this population. The methodology used in this study included two phases: (1) a systematic literature review to collect high-quality investigations and extract relevant variables from them, and (2) a bibliometric analysis to present the results. Our main findings reveal a growing interest in investigating issues related to entrepreneurship and the determinants of success or failure among entrepreneurs with disabilities. Although formal and informal institutions have not been extensively studied in relation to the entrepreneurial intention of people with disabilities, they do have an impact on the entrepreneurial performance of this group of individuals.
