USA Today Article on Corporate Espionage: Time for Damage Control Again?
Curious as to people's thoughts on today's USA Today article on "corporate espionage." http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/computersecurity/2009-07-28-corpo... While the article doesn't directly link the CI discipline to the subversive information gathering tactics featured in the article, it will no doubt once again raise the perception that CI is nothing more than corporate spying. Thoughts on what the CI profession, SCIP, and all of us should be doing on a regular basis to continue to dispel these associations?

Hello, Mark, your reasoning would be described in Polish by two words: "zaklinanie rzeczywistości". Is the wording "conjuration of reality" really ( http://www.culturalanimation.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/zasoby.pdf ) the English equivalent of them? Matthew Griffin writing in the article Image and Ideology in the Work of Heiner Müller (Monatshefte, Vol. 93, No. 4) the sentence "Language has almost a magical function, language as a conjuration of reality, not so much as its description" has convinced me of that. Incidentally, also I want the war games were the only wars [1008 The only wars for warmongers 08/23/1999 12:20 pm EDT, TadFromPoland ( http://www.lemant.user.icpnet.pl/tad/floor5a.html ), available now at http://www.lemant.user.icpnet.pl/tad/bbs1008.htm ]. However, isn't that wish of ours still nothing more than wishful thinking?
Best wishes,
Tad

Hi Richard,
Seena's book is a great way to start your CI library. Here is the link to a prior Ning discussion on this topic which I think you'll find helpful. http://competitiveintelligence.ning.com/forum/topics/the-essential-ci-library. I also use…
I am reading Seena Sharp's Competitive Intelligence Advantage and it is quickly becoming a favorite. I have read other books and found them too academic to be practical. I am compiling a list of recommended reading (books, websites, blogs, magazines…

I am enjoying the book, still working through it with all my other reading, but I like the practicality of it. Practitioners of the art need more than academic treaties on the subject. And thanks for making it a Kindle selection--when you travel aro…
Well getting a clean feed takes a combination of good web-sources and appropriate taxonomy-based semantic filters. It seems your friend's RSS is clean and thus it may be worth to look at his/her taxonomy. Any insight?
Indeed Richard you seem pretty well covered as far as information retrieval is concerned.
What about analysis, sharing, collaboration with others? What about aggregating those feeds together?
Any insights would be helpful.
I use e-sobi. It is a rss and podcast feed reader. I can add the feeds I want, I can store pages for later use, I can set alerts. Seems to be more powerful than the free readers. SInce you can organize it the way you want, it provides a way to quick…
