Abstract  

[Objective] This paper aims to improve the efficiency of topic modeling from news reports, and reduce the cost of competitive intelligence analysis. [Context] The proposed method could help competitive intelligence analysts accomplish environmental scanning tasks with the help of news reports. [Methods] First, we retrieved news stories with the help of a web crawler. Then, we categorized these articles based on a sentiment analysis API. Third, we identified and visualized news topics with the help of Latent Dirichlet Allocation method. We used Python to finish the data collection, cleansing, analyzing and visualizing jobs. [Results] We identified positive and negative sentiments as well as related keywords from news reports on the bike-sharing industry. [Conclusions] The proposed topic mining method based on sentiment analysis helps enterprises identify competitive advantages. It also improves the effectiveness of environmental scanning for competitive intelligence.
