description Privatization, partial tariff liberalization and entrance of foreign insurance companies in Iranian market pose serious challenges to domestic insurance companies. This paper discusses competitive intelligence as a means of gaining competitive advantage for insurance companies and seeks to study its effects on creation of sustainable competitive advantage. A sample of 123 middle and senior managers working in Iran Insurance Company in Tehran were surveyed. Data were collected via questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Model (SEM) in PLS software. Results showed that competitive intelligence had a positive effect on creation of competitive advantage based on two sets of process and contextual factors, with the former exerting greater effect in this regard. It was concluded that companies were required to gain competitive advantage by establishing a strategic unit to collect, analyze and share intelligent information derived from internal and external environment

Este artículo discute el caso de la inteligencia competitiva como un medio para ganar ventaja competitiva para las empresas de seguros y busca estudiar los efectos en la creación de ventaja competitiva sostenible. Se encuestó una muestra de 123 gerentes en posiciones medias y altas de la Iran Insurance Company en Teherán. La recolección de los datos se realizó a través de un cuestionario y fue analizada con el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM, por sus siglas en inglés) en el software PLS. Los resultados mostraron que la inteligencia competitiva tuvo un efecto positivo en la creación de ventaja competitiva basada en dos conjuntos de factores de procesos y contextuales, donde el primero tuvo en efecto mayor en este aspecto. Se concluyó que las compañías requirieron obtener ventaja competitiva al establecer una unidad estratégica para recolectar, analizar y compartir información inteligente derivada del ambiente interno y externoapplication/pdfengUniversidad EAFIThttp://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/4619http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/administer/article/view/4619Copyright (c) 2017 AD-ministerAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2instname:Universidad EAFITreponame:Repositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITAD-minister; No 30 (2017); 173-194Competitive intelligence and developing sustainable competitive advantageLa inteligencia competitiva y el desarrollo de una ventaja competitiva sostenibleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionarticlepublishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1Competitive intelligence; competitive advantage; insurance; Iran Insurance Co.; structural equation modelInteligencia competitiva; ventaja competitiva; seguros; Iran Insurance Co.; modelo de ecuaciones estructuralesSeyyed Amiri, NaderShirkavand, SaidChalak, MahjabinNiloufar RezaeeiAD-minister30173194AD-ministerTHUMBNAILminiatura-administer.jpgminiatura-administer.jpgimage/jpeg8755https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/74aaba30-ed36-460b-aa0a-dceb08c91ac9/download87c28d32b620f3408b1c70a3c505fbd8MD51ORIGINALCompetitive intelligence and developing sustainable competitive advantage.pdfCompetitive intelligence and developing sustainable competitive advantage.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf370036https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/e4ea2810-fa5e-4cca-804d-7a3eda2fe904/download73724a9dd6f287cbe30491591868d626MD52articulo.htmlarticulo.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html374https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/64e90df5-36e4-4813-b31a-1c2b5320c104/download2e6ee6569df8e5f8e4f41cc9c54aa642MD5310784/11403oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/114032019-12-05 01:08:18.291open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
