Making intelligence count
Article Abstract:
Virtually all companies acknowledge the importance of market intelligence, but being market-oriented incorporates continuous learning about the market and being responsive to the market. Market sensing appears to be pervasive among companies, but the best performers are those who are sensitive to competitive moves and who understand marketing as an inherent business function, where the final result of the whole business is perceived, as if from the customer's point of view. Organizational alignment must be achieved to make intelligence count.
