Written for those who want to get started and those who are well along with path." -- Parry Norling, Planning Director, Corporate R&D, DuPont

"This book is an important contribution to the literature on competitive intelligence. Together with selected experts in the field, the authors present the basic principles of technical intelligence along with an understanding of how to organize and invest in technical intelligence for the strength and protection of the firm." -- Ernest R. Gilmont, Bladstrom Professor of Management, The Wharton School

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and insightful
    Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2001
    This is among the most comprehensive, insightful and balanced books on CI that I have read. Although there is very little on the topic of CI in the scientic and technical communities, which the books editors accurately note, this book goes a long way to estabishing the basis for the field.
    Among the things I like best in the book are: 1) the balance between the conceptual and the applied - both the theory and the management applications are covered, 2) The introduction to TI by the editors does a better-than-average job of setting up the field, and 3) the chapters by Herring on creating successful S&T Intelligence Programs, Tibbetts on technology scouting, and the future direction chapter by Ashton are among the best of their kind in the literature.
    The things I liked less about the book (and there aren't many mate) include a bit too much introduction or overview material to basic CI in several of the chapters (the editors would have been helpful had they removed this overlap), and several of the chapters read far more like research studies and are too narrowly focussed to allow for much use(ex: Klavans chapter on research underlying TI, Penens' chapter on standards).
    In sum, this book is clearly the best out there on technical intelligence for business. If this area is important to you, you will find value in many facets of this book. Being that the book was published in 1997, I hope that these authors will consider doing a follow-up so that we can see the field's development through the advances in the computer-mediated economy, globalization and evolving competition in S&T space.
