"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
There is a process involved in gathering information, converting it into intelligence and then utilizing this in business decision making. Some CI professionals erroneously emphasize that if the intelligence gathered is not usable (or actionable) then it is not intelligence."
