The binomial public security and business competitiveness is not a prevailing trend neither in studies on strategic management nor in academic works on public safety. However, some significant works on the subject have already been published. This article surveys and classifies some of the main studies regarding how public safety and business competitiveness interact. Its main argument is that the studies about the security-competitiveness dilemma reveals two big academic debates: one focused on the impacts of public security on busines competitiveness, and the other concentrated on the reversal side of the puzzle., i.e., on the impacts of business strategies on public security. The study is divided into three parts. The two first analyze the two big scholarly debates, while the third lists the two debates` main findings and, based on them, enumerates a brief list of policy prescriptions regarding the security-competitiveness dilemma.
