In addition to good business skills, knowledge directly related to the field of activity, the ability to get along with people, awareness of the intricacies of the tax and legislative sphere, modern business people also need to take care of how to protect their business. The terms economic security and business intelligence have become very common.
The very word “intelligence” means the daily duty of a person engaged in any kind of activity to know the most complete information that will help him do the right thing in specific situations that arise in the process of solving certain problems.
The phrase business intelligence comes from English – business intelligence.
This term refers to the collection and analysis of information about partners and competitors. The use of business intelligence began in Europe in the 19th century. The first textbooks describing algorithms for collecting and analyzing information were written and published.
Business intelligence is necessary in order to reveal the real state of affairs in corporations, to determine the strengths and weaknesses of their business. Banks, investment, audit, research, consulting companies, rating agencies are engaged in business intelligence. Some do it in the interests of their own business, others – on behalf of clients. Virtually any marketing research contains elements of business intelligence.
Unfortunately, at the present time of falling morals and ethical standards, business intelligence has begun to be called industrial espionage. But her real vocation is a legal occupation that fits into the concept of fair competition.
There are many methods of business intelligence. The basic methods are based on logic and data collection. The use of these methods makes it possible to predict possible crisis phenomena in business.
Business intelligence can be not only external, but also internal. After all, a decrease in profitability and performance indicators of a firm or company may also be the result of unfair work of managers and other employees. “Own” can both take out commercial information to competitors, and falsify data or carry out other operations.
