AWARE Competitive Intelligence Resources
Recommended Web Sites for CI Research

This page links to a brief selection of some of the sites that AWARE uses when looking for competitive and marketing intelligence. There are many more - over the years we have compiled a large list of sites that we use for research.

The lists are biased towards UK / English language resources. This is not to say that major non-English resources are not important - they are. However to keep the lists to a manageable level we have excluded some local language sites - which include country specific search tools, local newspapers, and other business resources.

Part of the secret to effective competitive intelligence is to know where to look for information. We offer training in how to use the Internet for finding business intelligence, and have led workshops and seminars on this topic across the globe. If you are interested in learning more about using the Internet and online sources for competitive intelligence research, contact us. Or visit our Services Page to see how we can help you today!

We try and keep all links up-to-date. However sites frequently change or disappear. Please let us know if you find any dead links, or if you want us to add your site onto any of our source pages.

Read our review of this book

Michael Porter described this book as "the most important single contribution" in taking his original ideas on ways of achieving competitive advantage forward. The book is easy to read, inexpensive and contains numerous ideas to help reshape and challenge thought processes. The writers develop Porter's 5 forces model, and introduce a sixth force. They emphasise the strategic advantages of co-operation and look at game theory as a way of approaching business strategy.
