Amazon.com
The Intelligence Edge: How to Profit in the Information Age is a tightly focused primer that details ways to intelligently and systematically gather the specific type of data that can boost profitability in virtually any company. George Friedman, Meredith Friedman, Colin Chapman, and John S. Baker Jr.--four experts on intelligence-gathering techniques--identify the primary sources for such information and outline an eight-step formula for acquiring, prioritizing, and utilizing it. The Intelligence Edge discusses legal questions that can arise, and possible sources of assistance and tools (including the Net) that will aid in the process.

From Library Journal
Drawing on their extensive experience in intelligence services, the authors argue that in this global economy businesses must adapt to new ways of thinking brought about by global trends and information technology. Because the computer age has generated a massive amount of information whose value for businesses depends on a company's ability to collect and analyze it quickly, this has made information management crucial to business decision-making. To this end, the authors present a systematic process for collecting information, analyzing it, and using the resulting knowledge, demonstrating that this process would help an organization to innovate and develop its operations better and faster. With a step-by-step approach and supporting anecdotes, this book discusses techniques used by national intelligence organizations.
