Abstract

Competitive Intelligence has become the most important technique to provide firms’ with competitor analyses to aid in decision making. At the same time, the scientific community’s interest in researching and developing competitive intelligence and its influential fields has substantially increased in the last two decades. The aim of this paper is to map science using the bibliometric analysis to show the most relevant authors, countries, organizations and keywords related to the field of study. A proper query to accurately select the existing CI related articles and a later phase to clean, classify and map the obtained dataset, show that USA and China are the most productive countries and the main fields of research are grouped into three main groups.
