Economic intelligence relies on different definitions and a multitude of practices. Often incorporated within the framework of several disciplines, such as economics, management and communication,1 economic intelligence is sometimes considered as a “way of thinking and acting” (Levet, 2001, our translation) or sometimes as a tool for the management of strategic information (Giulia & Singh, 2011). Thus we wonder if economic intelligence is a discipline given its specific place in the literature. Firstly we will show how economic intelligence constitutes an academic discipline. Secondly we will see that the boundaries of the field are fuzzy.
