Chosen for their clear, direct relevance to scholars and
practitioners in the volatile field of competitive intelligence,
the 24 issues evaluated here represent the cutting edge of CI's
most pressing concerns. Current, scholarly, pragmatic, and among
the first of its kind, this book presents the heart of the field in
a way that even the relatively uninitiated can grasp and quickly
apply.
The authors cover the latest technological advances and their
relation to the tools most valued by CI professionals. They also
show that despite its enormous range of possibilities, CI has
limits. Navigating the ever-changing organizational and marketplace
environments is difficult. A key debate involves what should and
shouldn't be done to maximize the beneficial power of CI. Fleisher,
Blenkhorn, and the book's contributors present the crucial points
of this debate. This book is perfect for practitioners seeking
guidance, but also as a supplemental text for students in such
courses as marketing strategy and planning, business-to-business
marketing, and competitive intelligence itself.
