“…Case studies enable a systematic gathering of sufficient information about an organization to permit an effective understanding of how the subject under consideration operates or functions (Berg, 2004). The case study method provides a structured framework whereby the researchers have the opportunity to create a context based on all the sources of information that are available to them and where the interviews will be the catalyst that produces new knowledge out of this process (Theodoridis, 2014).…”

Purpose Competitive intelligence (CI) is a vital tool for any company to survive and remain competitive in today’s hypercompetitive and uncertain business environment. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the use of CI in liquor retailing in the USA. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory single longitudinal case study was performed through observation and semi-structured interviews plus examining documents from secondary sources in two phases. Content analysis was used for the data analysis. Findings Regardless of the small size of the company, the owner has an active attitude toward monitoring competition by using various sources of information and converting it into intelligence for making sound decisions for both short-term and long-term competitiveness. Also, the central role of the owner in the CI process has been verified. Originality/value This study responds to calls for more case studies in the field and is the first one to explore CI in the liquor retailing ecosystem by using a longitudinal case study. In general, studies of CI in retailing are limited. It has clear value to CI practices for retailers in the USA and in general.

“…In addition, they are suitable for obtaining a rich understanding of small firm activity (i.e., Ibeh, Ibrahim, & Panayides, 2006;von Weltzien Hoivik & Melé, 2009). The case study method provides a structured framework whereby the researchers are able to create a context based on all the sources of information that are available to them and where the interviews will act as the catalyst that produces new knowledge out of this process (Theodoridis, 2014). The focus of the case study is on a real-life context giving a detailed report of a specific case (Blaxter, Hughes, & Tight, 2006;Eisenhardt & Graebner, 2007;Gerring, 2009).…”

This paper aims to explore the role of stakeholder engagement in the link between innovativeness and the final innovation outcome (i.e. innovative products) in the case of SMEs in the beverage sector. Four case studies based on small, family owned Italian producers of alcoholic beverages explore to what extent the concept of radical or incremental innovation might be applied to the context of new drinks and the role of internal stakeholders. In particular, our study reveals the resources and innovativeness patterns that should be fostered in order to generate the desired innovation outcomes in the alcoholic beverage sector, in terms of new drinks. Particularly in the context of SMEs that use local ingredients, local branding and local manufacture, innovation management would benefit from a stronger engagement with stakeholders, which is still underestimated by the current innovation culture.
