How do you describe "competitive intelligence" in your country? - Competitive Intelligence2024-03-29T13:14:36Zhttp://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/forum/topics/how-do-you-describe?commentId=2036441%3AComment%3A31225&feed=yes&xn_auth=noauld blighty might cover the…tag:competitiveintelligence.ning.com,2010-04-17:2036441:Comment:321252010-04-17T20:57:14.543ZAndrew Beurschgenshttp://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/profile/AndrewBeurschgens

Dear Eric,<br />
<br />
Sorry for taking so long to answer you. I cannot visit this site as often as I would like.<br />
<br />
The words in Spanish are mainly:<br />
<br />
- Inteligencia Economica (Economic Intelligence): following the French concept, understood as the control and protection of strategic information important for all economic stakeholders.<br />
- Inteligencia de Mercado - Inteligencia Competitiva (Market Intelligence - Competitive Intelligence): very linked terms, focusing on the monitoring and analisis of markets,…
Dear Eric,<br />
<br />
Sorry for taking so long to answer you. I cannot visit this site as often as I would like.<br />
<br />
The words in Spanish are mainly:<br />
<br />
- Inteligencia Economica (Economic Intelligence): following the French concept, understood as the control and protection of strategic information important for all economic stakeholders.<br />
- Inteligencia de Mercado - Inteligencia Competitiva (Market Intelligence - Competitive Intelligence): very linked terms, focusing on the monitoring and analisis of markets, competitors and products.<br />
- Vigilancia Tecnologica: based on patents.<br />
<br />
The strategy and innovation waves did arrive to our country but in most cases were not related with competitive intelligence. CI is working now at different levels:<br />
- some good professionals are working on it since long time ago<br />
- some companies are doing it without knowing they do it<br />
- some companies are starting to find out now about the discipline<br />
- new professionals are entering in the field<br />
- a significant majority of companies still have not heard about the subject<br />
<br />
Although there are some books and articles in Spanish, I would say that reference materials are mainly in English and that's what we normally read.<br />
<br />

Eliana - what are the actual words used in Spanish, and could you describe their context?<br />
<br />
Also - how long have these words been in use in Spain? Is there kind of a "Porterian" era of strategy (1980s) followed by a "Christensenian" (1990s) era of innovation - or did things evolve on a different time scale? Or are those thoughtleaders not a big deal?<br />
<br />
And who in the Spanish speaking world has been influential, producing original material in Spanish first?<br />
<br />

Interesting that the concept of "intelligencia" is already a mix in Spain, since we Americans tend to be very categorical about the whole thing. Nice topic Eric,

Nice topic Eric,<br />
<br />
I think we all have troubles around the world finding a common meaning for CI. In Spain, I believe it is understood like a mixture between economic intelligence, market intelligence, technological intelligence and, obviously, competitive intelligence. But the CI culture is starting to be more widely spread now and there are different preferences:<br />

- on the contrary, there is also some reticence to use the word "intelligence" and some companies use alternative labels for these CI units like Strategic Knowledge, Studies and Alerts, Market Research, Strategy and Innovation, etc. Great Eric,

Great Eric,<br />
<br />
I will not speak on behalf of India but about how I see Competitive Intelligence.<br />
<br />
Cultural Intelligence has a role to play in generating Intelligence.<br />
<br />
I call myself a Futurist who practices Competitive Intelligence.<br />
<br />
What I have done is co-authored a book.<br />
<br />
Why did I do so?<br />

<br />
Because:<br />
<br />
1. Under Competitive Intelligence we have Cultural Intelligence<br />
2. Under Cultural Intelligence we have Active Intelligence<br />
3. Under Active Intelligence we have a tool in Counter Intelligence called MICE<br />
4. Under MICE, we have "I" which stands for Ideology<br />
5. Under Ideology we have Political Ideology and Religious Ideology and Individual Ideology.<br />
6. Under Religious Ideology I co-authored Mystical Ecstasy - Sufi Practices<br />

Amongst other things, this book was created for PSYOPS as an Antidote to Radical Ideologies, post September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, which I call Strategic Inflection Point.<br />

Cultural Intelligence impacts Brand Perception in diverse markets.<br />

Even in the good ole USA, it sucks as a descriptor... perhaps worse now that ever. I use "Intelligence" and call it good.
