Entrepreneurial action has attracted significant scholarly attention over the last decade. Given its rapid growth and conceptual complexity ranging from mental processes like judgmental decisions to behavioral manifestations, the literature is hard to navigate. This paper aims to review the EA literature by applying bibliometric analysis. Articles from 1993 to 2020 were analyzed to show how the literature has evolved over the years, identifying the most influential articles, journals, and authors and the knowledge structures. It has been found that EA research has evolved from a subsidiary concept serving other research streams to a mainstream with its own concepts and theories. EA has become a competent successor for entrepreneurial opportunity, as some scholars suggest its realistic and pragmatistic potential for studying entrepreneurship. Finally, by shedding light on more mature subfields and emerging trajectories, we develop a future research agenda for scholars interested in EA, especially new arrivals.
