Features: Information intelligence is the key to the rapid development and success of a nation's and enterprise's economy, as well as an important resource. In today's society, whoever is good at developing, utilizing, and collecting information intelligence will become the winner! With the establishment and improvement of China's market economy, and after China's entry into the WTO, the role of economic intelligence in enterprises has become increasingly prominent. How enterprises can gain competitive advantages in the market, maintain continuous competitiveness, and remain invincible in fierce market competition has become the primary task for corporate decision-makers. Developing corporate development strategies requires multi-faceted intelligence support, including macro-level intelligence on politics, economics, and society, as well as meso-level intelligence on industry trends and industrial policies. At the same time, micro-level intelligence such as market intelligence, product intelligence, and competitor intelligence is also needed. These intelligence requirements can be about the same industry, field, or region, or even cross-regional or even cross-border. Based on user needs, analyzing and researching information to add value to it, transforming it into intelligence, and serving corporate decision-making is the fundamental task of intelligence work. In a certain sense, when a company possesses intelligence capabilities, it possesses competitive advantages.
The book Economic Intelligence and Corporate Decision-Making starts from the needs of enterprises, captures the new developments in the discipline, and conducts multi-perspective analyses of the application of economic intelligence in enterprises based on theoretical research. The book's features are primarily reflected in the following aspects:
New Research Content. The book not only studies the types, characteristics, and value of economic intelligence, the tasks, principles, and methods of economic intelligence collection, as well as the identification, prediction, and writing of economic intelligence—basic theoretical issues—but also includes recent new theories and application research in the field of intelligence studies, such as intelligence and counterintelligence tactics, and corporate competitive intelligence.
Strong Practical Application. The entire book emphasizes the practical value of economic intelligence. The discussions on the content and methods of economic intelligence collection, as well as the research and organization of economic intelligence, are highly operational.
Up-to-Date Data. Most of the data in the book is from the past two years, which makes the content highly relevant and enhances its practicality. Many of the book's contents are summaries of the author's long-term experience in information intelligence practice, which hold universal significance and provide significant reference value for intelligence professionals.
