CI in Eastern Europe

Hello Group Members,

The discussions in this group are very old ;) - I'd like to learn how "doing CI" / "practicing CI" in Eastern Europe today has developed since your former discussions (e.g. BI in ex-Yu) and in general may differ from doing / practicing CI in Western Europe or North America.

Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Wish you all the best for 2012 with many individual highlights and thrilling moments. :)

Best regards, Udo

      1. information concerning companies is more and more transparent (as it can be so);

      2. information regarding individuals is more and more protected.

       

      In the "Far Eastern European" countries (if one can name them like that), only the networking is the right solution at the moment.
