The potencials of use of competitive intelligence in strategic places

Abstract

It is often maintained that strategic places fail to compete in the market because of their special status. However it is necessary to remark that strategic places also must compete in the market. For example, the company Lithuanian Railways competes with other transporters offering transportation by air, by roads or by water. On the other hand, strategically important enterprises put up special requirement for security, so in this case competitive intelligence is important in the both aspects i.e. collecting information about rivals as well as protecting of available information. The enterprises of national funds are often strategically important companies, consequently, the top-management of such companies need to realize the benefit, which is brought by competitive intelligence and aim at using the experience of competitive intelligence in practice. In this case collabora-tion with the companies or specialists having the relative experience is especially important.
