By Bonnie Hohhof Director of Competitive Research SCIP

With the increased interest and implementation of competitive intelligence functions worldwide, information about CI appears in many languages. Here’s how they say “competitive intelligence.” When looking for best practices and implementation case studies worldwide, you need to search beyond your own language. (This also applies to any topic you’re searching.) Starting with a very rough list of terms generated from Google Translate, I asked the SCIP LinkedIn group to add and modify those entries.
