Competitive Intelligence

Tactical, Operational & Strategic Analysis of Markets, Competitors & Industries

We are working on building up a comprehensive list of competitive and market intelligence sources and search tools and techniques specifically relating to the China market.
Do you have any suggestions for things to include in this list?

Laura,Good topic; do you mean free sources or charging sources as well? and Chinese interfaced ones, too?
BTW, it is good that we can finally get back to the community.

Hi Laura,
Good to hear from you. I may mention the Digimind engine that supports Chinese language either for search, monitoring and interfaces (charged and free sources).
Chris.

Hi Chris, Thanks for this. Do I understand right that Digimind is a software platform? the resource we are developing looks more at the databases and expert networks available in China.

You mentioned "sources and search tools and techniques" in your introductory message. Thus I thought it would be appropriate to add this software tool as it is a technique compliant with Chinese market requirements.

Indeed as soon as sources are available, there is a need for tools and techniques:
- To monitor those sources and supporting Chinese language helps in that regard.
- To identify more sources.

Hope this helps.

Hi Chris. Understand. Maybe next time you're in China you would be able to give us a quick demo of how it works. I'd be interested to learn more. Thanks. Laura

We can set this up in a shorter term from using web-conferencing capabilities as I do not foresee any trip to China before few months.

Due to time difference (it is now 5:52A in Boston) we may want to discuss either in early morning or late afternoon. Generally Wednesday and Tuesday work well for me

Walter, I can answer this one. Ok, first "big data" players usually means HP, Oracle, SAP, IBM. These firms are extraordinarily good at handling structured data (ie numbers) in relational databases, but they don't deal well with unstructured data,…

Oh, they are doing CI, lots of it, but they call it other things, like Data mining e.g. They solve many of the same problems but from an engineering perspective Klaus

I've been turning this one over and can't find a satisfactory explanation. Why don't we see more 'big data' players doing CI consulting.  It seems to me that companies like Google, with absurdly comprehensive environmental data, doing more to move…
