Abstract

In this issue most articles are reflections (bibliometrics, scientometrics) on what has been done in intelligence studies in business (IS) and more particularly in competitive intelligence (CI) and business intelligence (BI), so some reflections and analysis on the subject proper seems to be appropriate for these
notes. Almost all articles in IS (CI, competitor intelligence, market intelligence (MI), BI, and competitive technical intelligence (CTI)) are empirical contributions that show how to work more effectively with need to know information in business. Authors submit empirical articles that solve new and specific problems.
It can be a new method, the introduction of a new model or the application of some new technology.
