And what are the fundamental differences between the methods of detective activity and commercial intelligence? Always, information gathering, analytics, etc. There are so many aspects for detectives in the commercial field. Only in real life is everything much tougher and with the involvement of other structures, if there is a desire, buy a car wash
I can give you dozens of examples from personal experience. I work for a number of investment companies and I know a lot of methods for correctly obtaining information, but they all work according to the same scheme, if it can be called commercial intelligence methods. Moreover, in our country, all this is a little different (the use of trademarks, raiding, etc.) In any method as it’s not, the key is communication and the resource for obtaining information, which in principle follows from the first. You won’t surprise anyone with diplomas and certificates now. I have assistants, I never take education as a basis, but correct thinking is worth a lot when a new person comes to work, I give him an introduction from real practice and listen to his solution to the problem. The theory is good, but until you bump your nose, make a lot of mistakes, and no seminars will teach you how to work. IMHO
