The Dominant Interest Of Structuring Environmental Scanning Systems: Mapping Of 20 Years Of Research In Tunisia.

Authors : Kamoun Chouk Souad .

Abstract

Through this study, we propose an overview of two decades of research on Strategic Environmental Scanning (ESS) and competitive intelligence (CI) in Tunisia. Particular attention is given to Scientific and Technical Scanning (STS) as part of SES practices and as strong support to R&D activity and trigger of innovation. The objective of this work is to fill a gap faced by academic researchers interested in issues related to this field of research. The scarcity of meta-analyses within the literature review and retrospective studies could be an obstacle to the cumulative nature of the research and the capitalization of actionable knowledge from the various investigations.
