Abstract

Faced with an adverse global business environment, organizations seek to improve their competitive position, including through competitive intelligence (CI). This study offers a comprehensive analysis of the literature on CI practices in Mexico, published between 2000 and 2024, and updates the research conducted by Ojinaga (2018). This study aims to evaluate conscious innovation (CI) practices in Mexico using the PRISMA statement, in order to review the identification of essential success variables derived from the systematic literature review and meta-analysis conducted between 2000 and 2015. A search was conducted for articles and studies on CI practices in Mexico, covering publications from 2000 to 2024.
