From the Author

I am very excited about The Complete Guide to Competitive Intelligence. Over the years, many CI professionals have asked, "How do you successfully pull the complete competitive intelligence process together?" I believe this book finally answers that question. It takes the competitive intelligence professional through all the necessary steps to accomplish the task including, assessing their company's needs, developing a plan, conducting the research and finally packaging the intelligence for the decision makers. It even touches on peripheral issues such as counterintelligence and ethics. Plus, The Complete Guide to Competitive Intelligence not only answers questions, it shows you how to do it with step-by-step worksheets.
