    • Pipeline databases
    • CI vendors
    • Industry experts/KOLs and other human contacts
    • Sales data
    • Investment reports
    • News services
    • Medical congresses
Competitive Intelligence Activities

    • Social media resources currently are little used (and often ineffective) for collecting CI.
    • Only 40% report any innovative uses of social media for CI.
    • You Tube, which rated better in the study than Facebook or Twitter, is used by only 42%, and, of those, more than one quarter found it not effective.
