The role of competitive intelligence in achieving participatory management within sports organizations

Competitive intelligence is a process carried out by the institution to acquire, process, and distribute information related to competition and market. Its importance lies in the information and the knowledge collected by the organisation about its competitors.   This study aims to determine the nature of the relationship between competitive intelligence and participatory management. We used a random sample of employees in the Directorate of Youth and Sports Foundation - Tebessa, Estimated at 40 employees, and to collect data, we used the questionnaire and analyzed it through the statistical program SPSS. We found that competitive intelligence provides information and data about the organisation's external environment and keeps it abreast of development, prosperity, and growth. It has an effective role in the process of evaluating competitors and thus reduces competitive surprises. The importance of participatory management lies in allowing employees to develop their skills and talents by facing the management's problems.
