This study aims to check whether there is or not relationship between the constructs Innovation and Competitive Intelligence. Innovation, characterized by being a strategic element between organizations in order to economically develop a company, has been developed as a study object for a long time. Unlike the other theme studied, Competitive Intelligence, which can be defined as a strategic activity of collecting and analyzing information. Since the volume of data and information provided in the competitive environment of any business is growing every day, it becomes important for companies to know how to deal with these informational challenges, Competitive Intelligence is one of these helper methods in this case. The study had as methodological proposal a single case study of exploratory nature, using qualitative research. The object of study was a company in the cosmetics sector in Brazil in the city of Osasco - SP. In order to guide the present study, we adopted three specific objectives: (i) determine whether and how the company studied practices innovation, what is its type and form; (Ii) determine whether and how the company studied uses the Competitive Intelligence; and (iii) verify how the relationship between Innovation and Competitive Intelligence is. The instrument used was a guided interview previously prepared by the author based on the theoretical framework developed. Thus, six interviews were conducted, in which all were fully transcribed. For analysis of the interviews, the content analysis technique was used. The results indicate: the existence of a relationship between Innovation and Competitive Intelligence, being the main relationship and making Competitive Intelligence a precedent of innovation processes. It was identified in single case study the existence of three types of innovation: product; organizational; marketing. Another relevant discovery in the case study was to identify significant indications of well-structured IC activity, despite the absence of a specific sector or program of IC in the studied organization.
