Richard replied to Richard's discussion Competitive Intelligence Tools Chest"I just used those as examples because they are well known. There are many, many others, I just wanted to see what others are using."
Avner Barnea replied to Richard's discussion Competitive Intelligence Tools Chest"It will be interesting to take tools known from national intelligence and to see how much they can be relevant to CI. The tools you have mentioned are known for years. I thought it will be intersting to look beyond them."
