PurposeUsing analytics for firms' competitiveness is a vital component of a company's strategic planning and management process. In recent years, organizations have started to capitalize on the significant use of big data for analyses to gain valuable insights to improve decision-making processes. In this regard, leveraging and unleashing the potential of big data has become a significant success factor for steering firms' competitiveness, and the related literature is increasing at a very high pace. Thus, the authors propose a bibliometric study to understand the most important insights from these studies and enrich existing conceptual models.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, the authors use a bibliometric review on articles related to the use of big data for firms' competitiveness. The authors examine the contributions of research constituents (authors, institutions, countries and journals) and their structural and thematic relationships (collaborations, co-citations networks, co-word networks, thematic trends and thematic map). The most important insights are used to enrich a conceptual model.FindingsBased on the performance analysis results, the authors found that China is by far the most productive country in this research field. However, in terms of influence (by the number of citations per article), the most influential countries are the UK, Australia and the USA, respectively. Based on the science mapping analysis results, the most important findings are projected in the common phases of competitive intelligence processes and include planning and directions concepts, data collection concepts, data analysis concepts, dissemination concepts and feedback concepts. This projection is supplemented by cross-cutting themes such as digital transformation, cloud computing, privacy, data science and competition law. Three main future research directions are identified: the broadening of the scope of application fields, the specific case of managing or anticipating the consequences of pandemics or high disruptive events such as COVID-19 and the improvement of connection between firms' competitiveness and innovation practices in a big data context.Research limitations/implicationsThe findings of this study show that the most important research axis in the existing literature on big data and firms' competitiveness are mostly related to common phases of competitive intelligence processes. However, concepts in these phases are strongly related to the most important dimensions intrinsic to big data. The use of a single database (Scopus) or the selected keywords can lead to bias in this study. Therefore, to address these limitations, future studies could combine different databases (i.e. Web of Science and Scopus) or different sets of keywords.Practical implicationsThis study can provide to practitioners the most important concepts and future directions to deal with for using big data analytics to improve their competitiveness.Social implicationsThis study can help researchers or practitioners to identify potential research collaborators or identify suitable sources of publications in the context of big data for firms' competitiveness.Originality/valueThe authors propose a conceptual model related to big data and firms' competitiveness from the outputs of a bibliometric study.

International audience ; The conference "SIIE" aims to develop the dialogue between experts and researchers from public andprivate sectors, to acquire basic and experimental on Information Systems (IS) and Economic Intelligence(EI) (or Competitive Intelligence in English acceptance and terminology). This promotes, in a riskenvironment, technologies related to economic intelligence. The dynamic of EI depends on the control ofknowledge and requires competences to design the best strategies and ensure that decision-­makers takethe right decisions. The international conference SIIE will be held in its seventh (7th.) edition in Marrakechin April 2017, after the six successful editions. This edition is organized by CIEMS and IEEE Technology &Engineering Management Society (TEMS), and sponsored by the Universities of Maghreb and Europecountries. The theme of SIIE is « Trends in Technology Management and Economic Intelligence ». Since2008, the six proceedings and editions have allowed academic researchers and economic actors to achievecompleted projects. The goal of SIIE is to continue in this way by creating opportunities, ideas andinnovative ways to enhance projects, and build connections between universities and industries on bothsides of the Mediterranean Sea. SIIE'2017 includes keynotes, tutorials, authors' sessions and industrialpanels, animated by experts, to identify new approaches and knowledge in economic intelligence, appliedresearch and feedback. This will allow the emergence of new clusters in competitive intelligence. Within aconvivial and comfortable framework, as Morocco knows so well how to offer such a framework, the SIIEconference has always been thought to promote the weaving of trust networks between actors in academia,industry and politics, thus contributing to the training of the SIIE scientific community. The expertrecommendations and advices will help the SIIE community to find solutions to their many questions andproblems.

International audience ; The governance of knowledge seems to be the Scientific Policy most able to creating value with regard ofhuman and its evolution in cultures and civilizations. The duty of good governance is a consideration of thetransfer of knowledge related to scientific and technological progress. Intrinsically, this process requires asystem of knowledge organization and its management by implementing knowledge production and itsinfluence in society.In the present case, rely across all paradigms, know-­how and specific knowledge to scientific disciplinesand especially those in Humanities and Social Sciences, allows finding a dynamic of Knowledge Organizationfor dissemination, sharing and enhancement of knowledge. This new transdisciplinary orientation allowsincluding concepts, tools and singular perspectives in the digital field and information technology.With this new focus on the Knowledge Organization from the perspective of "Digital Humanities", theobjective of the ISKO-­Maghreb Chapter is to contribute in understanding the factors that organizeknowledge and phenomena that affect the information society. Actions to be undertaken by the ISKO societymust take into account socio-­cultural, cognitive and economic in the strategic management of knowledge.Towards the knowledge society in line with the Digital Humanities, it should be seen in its dynamic, itscontent and its interaction with science, technology and transdisciplinary associated to universities,companies and politics.In this new context "Digital Humanities" related to aspects of the "Knowledge Organization" and modalitiesof its management", a first orientation is pedagogical trying to answer the question "What is known aboutthe knowledge and its organization in the context of Digital Humanities?
