This report aims to emphasize competitive intelligence as an activity necessary for companies in the information technology industry. In a global aspect, the IT sector not only realizes rapid adaptation, but also manages to reach completely new levels in its business history. This sector has always been distinguished by its specific innovativeness (whether subversive or not), flexibility and high reactivity to new realities, and this is precisely what arouses research curiosity to what extent the IT business owes its favorability to methods such as competitive intelligence. The topic of the place of competitive intelligence in the information technology sector is not only relevant, but also still understudied (in contrast to the food, chemical and mining industries). The processes of continuous implementation of new products and services based on specific technologies require caution for companies in relation to their competitors, especially in market conditions of perfect competition. On the other hand, underestimating the integrated system of competitive intelligence (especially in the IT sector) would prove to be a disastrous mistake with losses in financial, intellectual and reputational dimensions, and such can remove even a stable economic player.

Emerging markets offer a compelling investment argument, combining growth potential, risk mitigation, exposure to interesting opportunities, and currency diversification. Emerging market growth equities can be an extraordinary investment opportunity, offering exposure to the potential of emerging markets, its demographics, growing wealth, and transition from manufacturing to services. Investors should consider their risk tolerance, investment horizon, and objectives when constructing a diversified portfolio that includes emerging market equities. Among the 71 developing economies analyzed, 18 countries have consistently outperformed their peers and global benchmarks. Understanding and assessing these risks is crucial for investors to make informed investment decisions in emerging markets. The report sets out the following tasks: � Conduct comprehensive analysis of emerging markets in different regions. � Identify trends, growth potential and challenges specific to each market. � Evaluate specific business opportunities within these emerging markets. � Assess the risks associated with investing or expanding into emerging markets. Consider political stability, regulatory frameworks, currency fluctuations, and cultural differences. � Analyze existing players and potential competitors in these markets. � Identify barriers to entry, such as legal requirements, infrastructure limitations, and cultural nuances. This paper serves as a theoretical analysis of sources. To address the above issues, specialized sources on this research topic were examined.
