About this title

Synopsis

Provides advice for businesses on finding and using legal, publicly available competitive information on other firms in the industry

From Library Journal

McGonagle and Vella, authors of Incorporating (AMACOM, 1984), have written another excellent business book; this one will help any businessperson understand the marketplace and the competition. Readers will learn what competitive intelligence (CI) is, from what sources it is available, and why CI is important to improving any business. The book is well organized and leads the business researcher through the process of finding information about competitors and using it ethically. New and little-used information sources such as online databases, Internal Revenue Service data, and state and local government agencies are covered. Recommended for comprehensive business collections.
