Abstract
AbstractIn the fall issue (vol. 7, no. 3), we presented a symposium drawn from the panel discussions at the SCIP/Rutgers University CEO Roundtable on Competitive Intelligence, held last year in New York City. During that historic gathering, some of the CEO participants advocated in favor of establishing dedicated competitive intelligence units staffed by CI professionals and headed by a Competitive Intelligence Officer. Others favored more loosely structured efforts, in some cases simply having operating departments and staff contribute information into an accessible database. Robert Galvin, the chairman of the Executive Committee of Motorola, Inc. and one of the pioneers of modern corporate competitive intelligence (Motorola's Business Intelligence system is recognized by many as the most advanced operation of its kind), listened to the discussion and then took the podium, where he spoke adamantly in favor of CI as a professionally staffed effort, with an intelligence program that is both centralized and widely disbursed throughout the company. Below, we provide an excerpt of his remarks. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
