Abstract: The journal includes articles within areas such as Competitive Intelligence, Business Intelligence, Market Intelligence, Scientific and Technical Intelligence and Geo-economics.This means that the journal has a managerial as well as an applied technical side (Information Systems), as these are now well integrated in real life Business Intelligence solutions.By focusing on business applications, this journal does not compete directly with the journals that deal with library sciences or state and military intelligence studies.Topics within the selected study areas should show clear practical implications.
