Competitive intelligence and basic structure in Wikipedia
A broad definition of competitive intelligence is the action of defining, gathering, analyzing, and distributing Intelligence about products, customers, competitors and any aspect of the environment needed to support executives and managers in making strategic decisions for an organization.
Key points of this definition:
- Competitive intelligence is an ethical and legal business practice, as opposed to industrial espionage which is illegal.
- The focus is on the external business environment.[1]
- There is a process involved in gathering information, converting it into intelligence and then utilizing this in business decision making. CI professionals emphasize that if the intelligence gathered is not usable (or actionable) then it is not intelligence.
A more focused definition of CI regards it as the organizational function responsible for the early identification of risks and opportunities in the market before they become obvious. Experts also call this process the early signal analysis. This definition focuses attention on the difference between dissemination of widely available factual information (such as market statistics, financial reports, newspaper clippings) performed by functions such as libraries and information centers, and competitive intelligence which is a perspective on developments and events aimed at yielding a competitive edge.[2]
The term CI is often viewed as synonymous with competitor analysis, but competitive intelligence is more than analyzing competitors — it is about making the organization more competitive relative to its entire environment and stakeholders: customers, competitors, distributors, technologies, macro-economic data etc.

Model vyhledávání informací
Cesty k elektronickým médiím?
Současné elektronické informační zdroje můžeme z hlediska cesty k nim všeobecně rozčlenit na:
• přístupné přes profesionální dialogové (synonymicky: interaktivní, on-line, online, spřažené) systémy, a to nezávisle na internetu, ale i prostřednictvím internetu;
• přístupné výhradně volně na internetu;
• přístupné neinteraktivně, tj. off-line (např. v podnicích, výzkumných institucích, ale ani v samotných databázových centrech off-line šíření informací nezaniklo, ale došlo k vymezení specifických rolí a v některých případech to zasluhuje podrobný rozbor); • přístupné na optických médiích;
• přístupné v kombinacích právě uvedených způsobů
