    This review article originates from the need of studying how firms can survive in the current business system, characterized by continuous changes and disruptions. Business model innovation (BMI) and Dynamic capabilities (DCs) are widely assumed to be crucial to overcome obstacles and changes ham- pering the survival of the firm. As the research on BMI and DCs have expanded in multiple directions, both jointly and not, we argue that a systematic process to identify and organize the trends present is re- quired. A bibliographic coupling analysis and a research focus parallelship network analysis let manage a large number of papers, dividing them in four clusters, and selecting the most relevant papers per each cluster. A systematic literature review of the theme emerged within each cluster will offer detailed future research directions on BMI and DCs in the areas of sustainability (and digitization), SMEs, open innovation, and servitization

    International scientific collaboration is strategic for the growth of a country, in particular for developing countries. Among these ones the five Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) have a relevant role, also because they are joined in an association to foster mutual development. The present article studies the network of international scientific collaborations existing around the five BRICS. It does so considering the number of coauthored scientific product having authorship shared between two different countries of a group of 70: the five BRICS plus 65 countries strongly collaborating with them. Absolute numbers of coauthored scientific products are arranged in a contingency table, and Probabilistic Affinity Indexes (chosen due to size independency) are then calculated. Indexes show the relative strength of inter-BRICS collaborations with respect to the network surrounding the five countries. At the end of the work obtained results are discussed and commented, and policy suggestions are offered
