520    Significant changes in both technology and the marketplace
       are making it essential for companies to keep a close 
       watch on their competition. Competitive Technical 
       Intelligence, written by a leader in the field, shows how 
       to do this systematically and reliably. The book covers 
       the full range of issues, from initiating a technical 
       intelligence program and integrating it into a strategic 
       technical plan to setting up strategic alliances with 
       other companies. The methods presented can be applied to a
       wide range of industries. 
520 8  Although it may sound like industrial espionage, 
       competitive technical intelligence is really a tool for 
       managing the tremendous amount of information available to
       the public, and this volume includes extensive advice on 
       how to use diverse information sources efficiently and how
       to find and evaluate new sources.
