    Summary:      
    Competitive intelligence(CI) is not corporate spying. It is the
gathering of information that is distilled into actionable intelligence
in an ethical manner.

Fortune 500 companies pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to obtain
information on the competition for planning their own product launches, product
development, etc.

Small companies need this type of information too. Simple search methods
will be explained for those with limited budgets who want to begin a CI program.
