Resumen

Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio fue identificar el perfil de la investigación académica sobre blended learning en el mundo y proponer una agenda de investigación sobre el tema.  Método: Analizamos el perfil de las publicaciones internacionales sobre blended learning en gestión y negocios desde 2001 hasta 2021. Identificamos cuándo, quién, dónde y qué se publicó sobre el tema, destacando los autores y las revistas de mayor impacto. basado en el índice h y CiteScore (Scopus), además de explorar la cooperación entre países.  Originalidad / Relevancia: La literatura reciente ha reportado buenos resultados tanto en el rendimiento como en la satisfacción de los estudiantes en el aprendizaje mixto (Dziuban et al., 2004). Sin embargo, todavía queda mucho por investigar y aprender sobre BL, ya que es un desarrollo reciente.  Resultados: El volumen de investigación ha ido en aumento en los últimos veinte años, aunque son pocos los autores, instituciones y revistas importantes que contribuyen a la consolidación del tema y los países que más investigaciones conjuntas en redes de coautoría concentran el mayor volumen de publicaciones, autores y revistas de impacto.  Contribuciones teóricas / metodológicas: Los resultados indican que el número de publicaciones está creciendo, y el área de gestión y negocios es la que más aporta, siendo los países que producen en coautoría también los que más publicaciones aportan.  Contribuciones sociales / gerenciales: Sugerimos una futura agenda de investigación y destacamos las contribuciones realizadas a la educación ejecutiva y de gestión.
