Analysis bibliometric 1990-2014: competitive intelligence

Abstract

Competitive intelligence (CI) provides strategic intelligence for decision making, which provides competitive advantage in business. But without a proper process is not easy to develop competitive intelligence, this study aims to identify what are the existing IC processes in the literature, focusing on the scientific production of IC models proposal. It is intended to achieve this objective through a bibliometric analysis over time on IC to identify and analyze the models. To identify the relevant literature, were used banks of academic data and electronic search engines. To ensure reliability, we used only peer-reviewed articles. A single magazine does not predominantly make the scientific literature on the theme or single-sized companies, with gaps in some IC fields in particular, the possibility of using standards that can help the processes of intelligence cycle, and may be a great opportunity to development work and scientific research. In this context explored, there is a significant opportunity to conduct several experimental studies to evolve the solutions of useful practices for CI analysts.
