My Interest in Competitive Intelligence is:
Develop C I in the U.S. and China to enhance business and diplomatic relations during these most challenging times.

As a Professor (MBA) of International Marketing and Student of China for over 20 years, I strongly believe that we have an incredible opportunity to train executives and officials how best to use C I to enhance their operations and marketing activities.

Cultural Insights ~ "why are they doing that" is probably the most challenging qualitative C I skill sets we can enhance.
