The purpose of our paper is to analyze rigorously one of the significant factors of the international competitiveness of the firms that relating to the corporate economic intelligence. The originality of this research lies in the assimilation of the shares relating to the identification and the exploitation of the opportunities, and thus, the entrepreneurial orientation, as an integral part of the corporate economic intelligence able to stimulate the international competitiveness of the Tunisians firms. The results of our analysis applied to a sample of 120 Tunisian firms show the positive and significant effects of the various devices of the corporate economic intelligence relating to the collection, the diffusion of information and the entrepreneurial orientation on the international competitiveness. In addition, our results show that the effects of the devices relating to the analysis and the processing as well as the protection of the information on the international competitiveness are done indirectly via their effects on the entrepreneurial orientation.
