Abstract
Businesses and academia as two stakeholders of the sustainable development goals are important to under-stand the recent status quo of research. This paper examines 851 papers in the field of business dealing with the sustainable development goals. For bibliometric analysis, concept-based search, manual coding and biblio-metrix was used. The results showed that the research in the marketing area is lagging behind. Accounting and finance, management and organization and production management have almost the same ratio. Most re-search have been done in line with the 9th, 12th and 8th goal. The fewest research has been done in line with the 3rd,4th, 10th, 14th,15th and 17th goal.
