Strategy is the art and science of navigating the competitive landscape, understanding it and allocating resources appropriately. Without strategy, no company can prosper in the long run. Competitive intelligence, on the other hand, is essential for building strategy, detecting and interpreting developments, securing the company and influencing its environment.
