Thank you Rainer, perhaps we could link up the sites around Europe. The Spaniards are close to coming online too as well as you being there already, the Swiss, the French etc etc etc
Congratulations on the Award, Rainer! Too bad we didn't get a chance to talk at the conference - it was so busy, and I think you were on the phone when I saw you. Glad you are now one of the Fellows ... Best, Claudia

Let me know once you have found something! I wonder if there's any scientific or at least empirical stuff around.
Dear Mr Michaeli. I'm a consultant in business intelligence, born in France, and now based in Cairo and working with Eastern and Southern african partners.
If you have time for a chat during your visit in Cairo, let me know.

I am a China Marketing Advisor with 20 years export development experience; speak Mandarin fairly well; and have an office in Beijing with my project partner.
My expertise focuses on strategic marketing, cultural insights and competitive intelligence; and gave a presentation on these topics at the recent SCIP conference in San Diego.
I am targeting the following industries to enter China: water purification and irrigation; value-added foods and food technologies; and higher education and executive training.
In addition, I am communicating with Chinese companies ready to enter markets in North America.
What is the collapse of NPT?
Otherwise, and interesting list of global risks to be mitigated by large institutions. I imagine some organizational cultures will be better than others at recognizing this.
Hi Jeremy,
Last week at SCIP Amsterdam, the CI Manager of CISCO said that they were also not that much looking at the competition, but rather focusing on understanding customers. This seems to be the behaviour of market leaders who prefer creating...
