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.

Arthur Weiss comments on ethics case study hosted on competitive intelligence case website.

Arthur Weiss, AWARE's managing director, commented on a recent case study written by Tom Hawes of JT Hawes Consulting LLC. The case study looked at the issues involved when a company obtained proprietary material from a supplier detailing key product development strategies from a major competitor. The commentary looked at the ethical and legal issues involved in using such material as well as the wider issue of how companies should handle CI ethical breaches in general.

Listen to an audio commentary on the case, complementing the written case comments.
