Abstract This exploratory investigation into the intersection of competitive intelligence (CI) and human resource management (HRM) begins by reviewing the concept of competitive intelligence which includes the acquisition, analysis, and dissemination of information. To do so, relevant theoretical perspectives emanating from several disciplines (including strategy, law, and human resource management) are reviewed. Then, a number of human resource management solutions that address the four barriers to strategic information diagnosis identified by Boettcher and Welge (1994) are presented. The effects on research and practice of unifying HRM and CI are also discussed. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
