Inteligência Económica e Competitiva

Objetivos

The aim of this course is understanding what is Competitive Intelligence, its relation to the Strategy and Marketing, and its use for greater overall efficiency. Students should be able to integrate tools, techniques, and methodologies to understand the key behaviour of a given competitor in the market. This integration will provide a deduction of the performance of a given competitor based on the Competitive Landscape, or in the opposite direction, as their Marketing Communications can be used to infer the competitor's strategy. It will be shared with students a global perspective of the What, When, How and Why of using these tools, per se, or in an integrated fashion. The ultimate goal is to create conditions for students positive impact in strategic decision making in organizations to which they belong or will belong.
