The field of competitive intelligence is growing as organisations are looking to increase their competitive advantage in a global society. As this field grows, so does the research and academic literature on this practice. While theory that specifically focuses on competitive intelligence may be limited, theories from other popular and related fields such as management and psychology have been used to explain or guide some the popular competitive intelligence processes with the competitive intelligence cycle. This paper attempts to lay a foundation of relevant theory from previously published literature on competitive intelligence by mapping these theories against the six identified competitive intelligences processes.
The qualitative approach used to achieve this was a literature analysis, involving thematic analysis through a process of coding. The resulting consolidation and processing of these theories led to the development of a useful framework from which other current and future theories can be added, paving the way for further theory development in the field of competitive intelligence.

An integrated approach to competitive intelligence (CI) promotes a deeper understanding, and CI appears to be evolving into a systemic view with an integrated approach across all organizational management processes. Individual components of CI were previously considered mainly as specific functional responsibilities, but today they are also considered from a conceptual perspective and organizational management. Such approach must include an increasing number of elements and ensure their mutual interaction and management, resulting in an increasingly complex model.

This study aims to examine the possibilities of engaging business intelligence (BI) with regard to the level of maturity within systemic knowledge management (KM). The individual modes of knowledge sharing and conversion are illustrated in Nonaka’s SECI model that defines four conversion modes of knowledge exchange: socialisation, externalisation, combination and internalisation. The submitted case study presents the current and potential engagement of BI when applying knowledge conversion tools in three Czech organisations of various sizes. Most businesses use both tools (BI and KM) but they are often not able to coordinate their joint implementation in a suitable way. Currently, the results of the case study indicate a more optimal adaptation in the environment of larger businesses. However, the addressed businesses, regardless of their size, most often see the potential and great opportunities of the tools in the combination mode in the future.

This paper explores the public data governance and AI policies in the world’s three main technological regions which are the United States, China, and European Union based on scientific literature analysis with machine learning. We used the RapidMiner text mining algorithm to classify texts and define the recuring themes in each region through Terms Frequency-Inverse Document Frequency, supervised machine learning techniques with KNN, and Naïve Bayes. Therein, our results reveal the most influential items for each region that emphasize three different approaches in China, the United States and the EU.

Integrating futures thinking and anticipatory thinking into programs can help improve economic opportunities The UNESCO Chair’s approach has helped improve economic opportunities, for organizational and municipalities/economic regions. It is hoped that the results can be used to help others bring this approach into their programs. Perhaps those running/part of entrepreneur/small business development programs, accelerators and incubators will see the University of New Brunswick (UNB) UNESCO program and may look at ways to include futures thinking and anticipatory systems thinking in their programs. Finally, the approach has helped cities/municipalities, perhaps those involved in regional economic development will integrate the Chairs approach.

In the current turbulent business markets, the way companies address and tackle unexpected events is reflective of its success. Different varieties of technological tools have been created to assist in overcoming unpredictable and unexpected events in businesses that cold impact them, and one such tool is the business intelligent. Such systems assist in gathering data concerning business operations and environments transforming information into something that can be easily understood. Major firms have adopted big data analytic systems but this does not hold true for most universities and organizations literature has yet to present the way business intelligence tools affect businesses of different types. Therefore, in this study, the impact of business intelligence tools on the decision-making and performance of public universities in Jordan is investigated.This qualitative study was conducted on 200 members in 10 chosen universities. Based on the interview results, BI tools deployed in the universities assist in facilitating timely decision-making, enhances efficiency of performance and meets client’s needs suitably, leading to employee satisfaction.

Purpose: In marketing discipline, there is considerable interest in understanding the relationship between diverse approaches of Market Knowledge Learning and Organizational Performance, and recently, how analytics and emerging revolutionary technologies are changing this relationship. To fully apprehend this relationship it is first necessary to uncover the role of Marketing Capabilities, the management mechanism that boosts Organizational Performance using Market Knowledge. Design/methodology/approach: A new construct that embraces Analytics and Adaptive Capabilities approach (AAC) was developed to increase our comprehension of Marketing Capabilities mechanism using structural equation modeling and regressions. Findings: The model has shown an indirect-only effect of AAC using Static Marketing Capabilities as a mediator narrowing the Marketing Capabilities Gap and avoiding any tautological capabilities pitfalls. Research limitations: A deeper endogeneity test could be executed related to adaptive market approach as well it was an original preoccupation concerned to dynamics capabilities. Practical implications: It enabled managers to understand what AAC are. Additionally the results suggest precaution for headhunter because AAC needs pre-existing marketing capabilities. Social implications: It provides to managers a useful tool to assess their organizations regarding analytics in marketing realm, what makes it possible to compare with rivals and to predict the investments.Originality/value: It lies in to appraise the Marketing Capabilities management mechanism and a step by step scale developed for AAC in different industries in Brazil.

The study aims at identifying the role of competitive intelligence in improving company performance through organizational learning in start-ups, Relied on a descriptive-analytical approach with the use of a questionnaire to collect data, which was distributed to a random sample of 255 Start-ups in Algeria. The structural equation modelling was also used through the Smart pls 4 program to test the study's hypotheses.The study concluded that there is a weak indirect role between competitive intelligence and the performance through organizational learning expressed in a correlation coefficient estimated at 23.1%, while the direct role was greater with a correlation coefficient of 61.6%.This is due to the fact that the mediator variable does not play its active role in strengthening the relationship between competitive intelligence and the start-ups performance despite this impact, start-ups in Algeria does not effectively carry out research to obtain available opportunities in the market.

The literature on SWOT is characterized by a debate among academics who have identified problems and proposed solutions for the strategic management tool, yet little research to date has captured practitioners’ perspectives. Recent literature indicates that SWOT is still the most popular strategic management tool among competitive intelligence (CI) professionals. The purpose of this study is to bridge this academic-practitioner divide in the SWOT literature by conducting a cross-sectional survey that gathers practitioners’ feedback regarding whether they are experiencing the problems or employing the solutions proposed by academia. A survey was distributed via LinkedIn to collect data from CI and other business professionals who conduct SWOT in the workforce. The findings confirm that practitioners experience select problems identified by the literature. Specifically, they may have too many factors per SWOT category, may be defining factors with ambiguous and unclear words, and may not have a means for resolving conflicts when factors fall in multiple categories (e.g., opportunity and threat). The findings also indicate that practitioners may not be consistently conducting SWOT as a structured business process, as proposed in the literature. The feedback provided by CI and other business professionals aids in closing the academic-practitioner divide by more clearly identifying persistent issues with SWOT and creating valuable and actionable insights that will drive the continual improvement of this popular strategic management tool.
