Competitive intelligence is also an analytical process of information on competition and markets via open sources; including by electronic sources and databases, vendors, and digital libraries. We can Also interpret that „intelligence is knowledge in action“. Information professionals have good and right information for forming of competitive intelligence professional status, which is so near positions of chief information officer or chief knowledge officer (CIO and CKO).
