    Hello Rainer - great to see you here - though we set this up to get some dialog started around the SCIP meeting, it would seem to be taking on a life of its own. Welcome again and I'm looking forward to catching up with you in San Diego.

    Da ich am Lehrstuhl für Managementinformationssysteme (www.mis.uni-saarland.de) als Hiwi arbeite, war meine Idee, CI und MIS zu verknüpfen. Da der Lehrstuhl schwerpunktmäßig im Bereich Personalmanagement forscht, dachte ich an IT-Tools (v.a. internet-basiert wie RSS, alert- und recommender-Dienste oder das konkrete Beispiel der tool-suite von google) und deren Eignung/Potenzial zur Konkurrenzüberwachung. I.d.S. ginge es um die Überwachung der Personalstrategien im e-recruiting der Konkurrenzunternehmen vor dem Hintergrund des 'war for talents'. Leider war ich nach einigen Wochen intensiver Recherche jedoch nicht ausreichend davon überzeugt, dass das Thema CI in diesem Kontext genug Material für meine Diplomarbeit liefert. Daher habe ich mich nun auf das Thema: 'Kategorisierung und Einsatzpotenziale web-basierter Dienste in der Personalbeschaffung' festgelegt. Ich freue mich dennoch sehr über Ihr Interesse an CIS; ich finde es nach wie vor spannend und auch etwas bedauerlich, dass es nicht zu einer Ausarbeitung gekommen ist.
    Beste Grüße, Kerstin

    Rainer,

    Greetings. I am complimented by your invitation and readily accept.

    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.

    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 subscribe to a couple of Economic Journals (peer reviewed) and the Southern Economic Journal seems to publish articles that are nipping at this issue. Nothing solid yet.

    Let me know once you have found something! I wonder if there's any scientific or at least empirical stuff around.
