Now that's pretty interesting - what does Sharia say about competition in general and CI practices specifically - even "ethical" ones which might not have the best interests of the counter-party at heart?

My Interest in Competitive Intelligence is:
The shift from the era of asymmetric information to the era of asymmetric interpretation - from Intelligence 1.0 to Intelligence 2.0. See http://www.aurorawdc.com/blog/rethinking-thinking-era-asymmetric-in... for more.

    Dear Arik,

    First and foremost I am not a Muslim. Secondly, I am not advocating any religious ideology or propogating any religious ideas.

    In Intelligence we have Active Intelligence.

    Active Intelligence = Human Intelligence

    Human Intellegence for extraction uses MICE .

    MICE = Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego

    Ideology = Political Ideology and Religious Ideology and Individual Ideology

    In Religious Ideology, post September 11 terrorist attacks, Islam is perceived as a Radical Ideology.

    Because of this perception, the terrorist and vested interest affect Foreign Investments in emerging markets.

    If the Western Super Powers are able to create a positive perception of Democracy and Christianity using the tool of Social Engineering then we can mitigate the risks of Globalization for International businesses.

    Islam is not my religious belief nor my religious ideology. My blog post was an attempt to mitigate risks for Christian expats worldwide.

    Sorry to have offended you.

    Regards
    Vivek RaghuvanshiDelete Comment

    Thank you Arik, if you decide to take the Intelligent Collaboration on YouTube or someother media format, I would welcome ensuring UK-based folk are made aware of them. Already done with this forum as well as August's podcasts.
