I really enjoyed Leonard Fuld's Secret Language of Competitive Intelligence. I thought it was a capstone work of an illustrious career and explained the discipline in serious yet accessible language. It represented the state of the industry in the 2…
As we say goodbye to the "Naughty Oughties" I'm compiling a list of the best books for competitive intelligence - which do you recommend?
Well said Lance! The irony of CI is that, strategically, it's often best to ignore your competition and concentrate on getting your own act together.

I don't have a profile in courage to share off the top of my head but I will suggest that the ability to put courage to work communicating skeptical insights depends highly on the self-esteem - or inversely proportioned narcissism - of your client.…

Great summation August - thanks! I'll bleed out my observations over a few days rather than try a similar wrap-up but will hit a couple of the high spots that come to mind here below. Overall, by the way, I agree with pretty much everything you said…

Hi Klaus - I'm very eager to meet Per at some point soon - I've heard such great things from you and Sheila - would you please facilitate an email introduction? I plan to be spending a good deal of time in Shanghai in 2010.
Thanks for sending me the link, Arik. Looks interesting, and I am glad to see you got Gabriel Andebjork with you. I am sure if Per Jenster had been at home in Shanghai right now he would have linked to come.
Take care,
From Stanford

Hi Arik,
Thanks for the update. I am interest to learn your perspective of the CI industry in China, as compared to the North America? And which industry is relatively more advanced in the CI development?
Thanks,
Lan

Vivek Raghuvanshi said… - 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
