Abstract:

How to achieve a higher level of market understanding? How to use information efficiently? In order to make information useful and working for you it is nesessary to focus on their systematisation and complex view over the market – so called „Market Intelligence“. In the past, we could have come across the implementation of this advanced system of strategic marketing almost exclusivelya in big multinational companies. Nowadays, we can see rising interest in this system through all sectors and professions. Even though the principles of Market Intelligence have been already known for a long time, it was usually used only to monitor and sort data. The truth is that there is a way how to gain much more.
