The purpose of this article is to identify and analyze academic literature on “Corporate Entrepreneurship” over the last 20 years, available in the Anpad electronic library of articles (SPELL), in order to contribute to the theme and research agenda. The research method used was bibliometric research in order to categorize the works by title, year of publication, authors, citations, educational institutions, approaches, types of research, keywords, general objectives, journals, technical procedures, themes and sub-themes and works used in their production. Thus, in this research, the following findings are highlighted: the three authors who publish the most are also the most cited confirming Lotka's law, the evolution of the term "corporate entrepreneurship" to "intrapreneurship" and the interest in publications on intrapreneurship in public organizations.
