About this book

As the major powers move away from the traditional weapons of warfare, they are turning instead to economic weapons like competitive intelligence - the gathering and analysis of information about competitors and the marketplace - to ensure their national sovereignty and survival. Using technology and skills adapted from the Cold War era, they turn raw information into powerful intelligence, enabling them to build market share, launch new products, increase profits, and destroy competitors. Yet, in America, the subject of business intelligence remains shrouded in secrecy - because some companies regard it as unethical, and because certain successful companies don't want to lose their advantage. But the secret is out. With detailed examples from home and abroad, Kahaner reveals the methods, case studies, and systems that businesses use today to establish their own intelligence operations. You'll discover how competitive intelligence can unmask hidden competitors, and how it can help your company to enter new businesses, understand your own marketplace, and increase the range and quality of acquisition targets. An indispensable guide to the new competitive world, Competitive Intelligence will help companies transform themselves from mere collectors of information to informed users of intelligence. Innovative and practical, it will forever change the way companies make decisions about themselves and the global marketplace.

Jay Liebowitz

Strategic intelligence (SI) has mostly been used in military settings, but its worth goes well beyond that limited role.

Banking in India

K. S. Hasan

This book, one of a series of guides to foreign banking systems, has been produced to present a concise account of the banking system currently operating in India, a two-tier system that has evolved from the joint influences of the traditional and English patterns. It is based on a German text written by Dr. Khaja Shoeb Hasan and translated in English by Roy North. It commences with an outline of the origins and develolpment of the Indian banking system and describes its economic background, legal framework and particular features. The Reserve Bank of India, its functions and its central role in controlling the financial and credit sectors is described, as are the functions of the commercial banks and their nationalisation. The various credit institutions concerned with raising finance for agriculture and industry are also discussed. Official statistics including those of the Reserve Bank of India have been culled from primary sources and are extensively quoted throughout the book.

The global economic crisis

Larry Allen

"From Greece scrambling to meet Eurozone austerity measures to America's sluggish job growth, there is every indication that the world has not recovered from the economic implosion of 2008. And for many of us, the details of what led to the recession -- and why it has continued -- remain murky. Economic historian Larry Allen clears up the subject in The Global Economic Crisis, offering an insightful and nonpartisan chronology of events and their consequences."--Publisher's description.
