Hi Tom,<br />
<br />
If you are interested in a book about the use of CI/BI/MI in Procurement operations, Robert Handfield's "Supply Market Intelligence: A Managerial handbook for building sourcing strategies" is very valuable.<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />

You are a wealth of information! Your appetite for books and articles exceeds mine (which I thought was pretty healthy). Thank you for offering so many useful suggestions and taking time to organize them.<br />

I like Confidential for elicitation and counterintelligence, both the analytical tools books that Bensoussan/Fleisher wrote. I like all the CI Foundation books...which may not ALL be on my list, the trade show, setting up a CI process, CTI, ethics since each chapter is written by a different person. I like Fahey's Competitor's book for diagrams of how processes work. I like the books that Carolyn Vella and John McGonagle wrote too. I am a "bookie". They're my little friends.<br />

I like Confidential for elicitation and counterintelligence, both the analytical tools books that Bensoussan/Fleisher wrote.

<br />
For people just starting I recommend Larry's Kahaner's CI book since he's a journalist and it's easy to read. Likewise I recommend The Analyst's Cookbook by Kristan Wheaton & a couple of his students at Mercyhurst. This is a quick read and does a good job just explaining a number of analytical tools. Not as exhaustive as Bensoussan/Fleisher, which I use a lot and are reference material. It's just down and practical in a spiral. The other one is Competitive Intelligence by the APQC for good benchmarking of CI processes...I think I recommended that one to you in another of your chats last night.<br />
<br />
The other thing I do is download the CI Mag articles I like and organize them by area of interest like counterintelligence, sales/marketing, etc. I last did this for the BOK task force and went back to the first issues. It only goes to 2007, and I was picky since I was choosing articles for our consultants to read who were not versed in CI to get them up to speed quickly. It's <a href="http://www.thecisource.com/pdfs/RecommendedCIMagArticlesJuly2007.pdf" target="_blank">here</a>. I look at these articles all the time since they're a quick read.<br />
<br />
Happy reading!<br />

Hi Tom,<br />
<br />
You will find a list of CI Scholarship, covering Books, Book Chapters, Scholarly Articles and Practitioner Articles from 1930 to 2006 on De Montfort Universty's CIMITRI site: <a href="http://www.dmu.ac.uk/cimitri">www.dmu.ac.uk/cimitri</a>. Ellen has taken this a step further by adding commentary so you may now have all you need.<br />
<br />
The early years are a bit thin (obviously) and the listings for 2007 and 2008 are in preparation. Dissertations and Theses are included for 2003-2006 but…

<br />
The early years are a bit thin (obviously) and the listings for 2007 and 2008 are in preparation. Dissertations and Theses are included for 2003-2006 but there are omissions which we have been made aware of and these will be added at the next update. D&Ts are difficult to keep track of as not all Universities and Colleges publish the full lists for all post-graduate students. Some only announce Doctoral theses but we want to capture Masters degree level work too so these listings are an evolving resource for researchers, scholars and practitioners alike.<br />

<br />
Wow. What a great list! It is more than I will acquire or read this week for sure. Nevertheless, it looks like a very valuable set of titles.<br />
<br />
Are there any of these books that you return to frequently or that had a particularly significant impact on you?<br />

I have an <a href="http://www.thecisource.com/resources/books" target="_blank">extensive list of CI books</a> arranged by topic on my website. It might be overkill, as it's pretty extensive.<br />

Hi Tom<br />
<br />
I have tried to attach a recommended CI book list that I created for our clients last year. It is by no means comprehensive but may be a good place for you to start.<br />
<br />
If the attachment does not work, then go to our web site - <a href="http://www.mindshifts.com.au">www.mindshifts.com.au</a>. Under Books and Resources go to Books and in the first paragraph you can download our recommended reading list.<br />
<br />
Hope this gets you started.<br />
<br />
Kind regards<br />

Thanks for the link. The BU site is (obviously) more than I will personally acquire at least any time soon. Do you have 5 or so specific CI books that you have found especially helpful?<br />
