The usage of blogs in competitive intelligence. (92.71 KB)
In order to maintain a competitive edge in today’s marketplace it is necessary for companies to have access to timely and accurate information in order to make critical business decisions. Part of this decision making process depends on research, the availability of intelligence on competitors and information on the general business environment within which the company operates. Research is a people driven process that depends on the abilities of the researcher to find and disseminate information to all relevant parties concerned within the competitive intelligence process. Accurate competitive intelligence depends on the competitive intelligence professional (CIP) having access to relevant and current information to base decisions on, and provide clients with accurate analysis. - The usage of RSS in competitive intelligence.
