More About the Author
Product Description
Larry Prusak, Managing Principal, IBM Consulting Group
Liam Fahey has written the first richly textured, application-friendly and realistic book on what is often misnamed competitive intelligence ... a masterful achievement by a power in competitive understanding.
James Brian Quinn, author of Intelligent enterprise and Innovation Explosion
Fahey's Competitors is a lively, dynamic, major break from traditional 'static' strategic analyses. He provides a unique, pragmatic, entrepreneurial approach for seeing where competitors are going in the future - and how to preempt, reconceive or reshape the 'competitive domain' faster and better.

A disapointing book - Decepcionante.
28 Mar 2002
Format:Hardcover
I must confess that this has been one of the borest books I have ever read. Padded out with plenty of trivial ideas and lacking with something new. On the good side, it's an overview over most of the topics in competitor analysis but really heavy going to go through.

Great strategic value!
16 Mar 2000
Format:Hardcover
As an avid disciple of strategy and leadership, I find this book a valuable companion to Porter and Sun Tzu. Unlike many CI books which dwells heavily on the "tricks of the trade" and "checklists", Liam Fahey's work provides the reader a set of conceptual frameworks for appraoching the whole CI process. This leads to a better understanding of the competitive environment, its dynamics and opportunities to win. Mr Fahey's thoughts would make a great MBA course. But until then, this book gives the reader a first-mover advantage over those who are still in the dark ages of strategy and competitiveness.
