Bad PR for CI

by Mislav Jurisic

May 21, 2009

I have come across a comment on news on DT spying on its employees in Croatia. For reference the news in english is here..
An article in croatian was published in major newspaper (Vecernji list) on 1st page. Unfortunately there was made a link between business intelligence and corporate espionage. In the article under subheader called "Espionage in trend" the first sentence starts with "Corporate espionage, in other words business intelligence, is for some time already a trend in Croatia". Sadly very often in media over here business intelligence is put in context of espionage.
At least in the headline they didn't mention BI/CI:(
Any other experiences in the region on how we can change/do something about it? Does it influence your work?

    Dear Mislav, unfortunately the problem is and in Russia and CIS countries. I have in recent years has given many interviews to journalists, what was my surprise when I read in the press headlines of these publications:
    - Spy games. "Company management", January 2009. Konstantine Pukemov
    - Spy rage. "Ukrainian investment newspaper" (Kiev) № 22 of 09.06.2008.
    - Spy Network XXI. "Komersant - Money" 21.07.2008. Arthur Velf
    - Spies are highly demanded. "Computerra" 04.04.2008 Kivi Berd

    All this because of what journalists aspire to high-profile name and not think about the consequences!

      The purporse of Information Warfare is Extraction of Information.

      According to M. Alain Juilett, Competitive Intelligence is Protection of Strategic Information.

      Counter Intelligence is the name of the game.

        I'm currently working with a colleague from the Foreign Press Association who is looking to put the record straight. If you would welcome exchanging views with him, I would be more than happy to put you in touch. Please reply if you are interested. Thank you all in advance.
