Résumé

This study examines the implementation of competitive vigilance within ‎the Algerian economic ‎enterprises, exploring the behavioral and organizational ‎dynamics governing its practical ‎application. Adopting a case study ‎methodology tailored to the phenomenon, semi-structured ‎interviews were ‎conducted with a purposive sample of decision makers and executives at ‎‎Condor. The findings reveal a flexible approach to monitoring competitor ‎movements, and a ‎strong managerial consensus on the importance of ‎environmental scanning. However, this ‎awareness has not yet materialized ‎into formal institutionalization. The study highlights that ‎the barriers to ‎activating this system are primarily driven by internal and external constraints, ‎‎compounded by a tendency among decision makers to rely on intuition, and ‎personal experience rather than establishing specialized intelligence units.‎
