Abstract

Sport performance analysts and coaches collect and convert competitor and environmental information for strategic decision making. However, existing studies do not provide a systematic approach for this managerial process. Within the business domain, competitive intelligence (CI) is a proven systematic process, which is applied to enhance organizations’ competitiveness through the systematic collection, conversion and countering of information. Therefore, the objective of this comparative systematic literature review (SLR) was to establish similarities between the business CI elements and sport performance analysis (PA). The review was conducted from the functionalist quadrant, to provide rational explanations where mechanical analogies from the business CI domain were used for modelling and understanding the particular phenomenon of the CI process in sport. A systematic review protocol was established, and a total of 61 articles from the CI (34) and PA (27) domains were included. The SLR revealed substantial similarities of the current sport PA elements to the business CI process. The similarities were used to develop an information management process, which is illustrated as a literature CI model for sport coaches. Specific differences between the two domains indicated that empirical research is needed to fill the gaps of sport CI elements description.
