Can you solve moral dilemmas encountered by you during the pursuit of Competitive Intelligence profession as exemplarily as Mr. Harrison solving that moral dilemma encountered by him during the pursuit of solicitor's profession ( http://fedcba.ning.…
Hello, Graeme, are you sure that Competitive Intelligence professionals have never put themselves in such a moral dilemma as Hercule Poirot and Captain Hastings cheating Jacob Radnor ( http://fedcba.ning.com/xn/detail/2516803:Comment:4821 )?
Best w…
The only comment I would say is the general public at large will never have heard of Competitive Intelligence.
Those questions asked in Peril At End House ( http://fedcba.ning.com/xn/detail/2516803:Comment:4761 ) seem to be even more straight directed to Competitive Intelligence professionals, don't they? ;-)
I am not challenging "Holier Than Thou" syndrome here.
The issue is that "Intelligence" we generate has to be Competitive.
The yardstick should be that each one of us must be aware of the "Consequence of our Actions".
The tools we use in Collecti…
Do you (as a particular group among the other professionals) feel better not being alone with your moral dilemmas ( http://fedcba.ning.com/xn/detail/2516803:Comment:4722 )? ;-)
My friend M. Alain Juilet, Senior Director in charge of Competitive Intelligence, French Govt very rightly said:
"Competitive Intelligence is Control and Protection of Strategic Information"......It is to the competitiveness of the economy and secu…
Khalid bhai,
Micro Picture - Competitive Intelligence is a tool for Corporate Warfare
Macro Picture - Competitive Intelligence is a tool for Economic Supremacy of the Nations.
Now we all know about PPP ( Private Public Partnership )

To add to this stream of ethical discussion. I have been a CI consultant since 1993, and I really see little change in customer's demands for collection ever since I started my business. What's changed is how much more I can get on-line, and social…
Yup, as you requested (with a little bit of accomodation to German orthography)... :-)

As terms of the Creative Commons license of my blog any translation of my material into German must incorporate the word "schaudenfreude" because it is my favorite word in any language. ;-)
August - just excellent. That's what I meant with being "higher positioned in the food chain towards decision making". I truly believe that ethics and effectivity promote each other in a much more profound and sustainable way than an "information-dr…
In a recent blog entry I touched on some of my thoughts that often drive some of these requests for certain kinds of information, including sources the acquisition of which are likely to come at the expense of established ethics and even laws relate…
Hi Nimalan,
I see the point. Maybe we all have to emphasize more that the "value" of an information always consists of two parts: the competitive advantage for the client AND his or her ability to use this information (without risking public image…

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…
Hey Eric,
Very nice, I really like your critical dissection of the author's convoluted and ultimately flawed, thought process which you laid out very articulately. Precisely right, what exactly is the difference here? The issue of direct vs indirec…

Achieving competitive advantage through systematic competitor and market analysis
In times of increasing competition and complex, fast-moving competitive environments, it is important to be one step ahead of the competition. Businesses have to anti…
Bill, I'm having trouble imagining you being pilloried for posting jobs during a global recession. I hope we have lots of trouble of this sort coming!
So, to take this author's point:
Gathering, analyzing and disseminating information sponsored by a major media source financed directly by a combination of pharma, oil, and automotive companies: ethically honorable.
Gathering, analyzing and dissem…
