10. Would you describe your industry as

    Producing or selling products and services which are similar to other companies, for example electrical items, durable and nondurable goods, insurance or air travel.  There is a low risk if your competitors gained access to your product or services knowledge.   

We are innovative and share knowledge between our operations, marketing and sales, but as our product and service knowledge is very specific to our company, this knowledge could not be adapted outside our company. 

We are innovative but we find knowledge to be less critical to our success, i.e. our products/processes are often easy to copy.

We know developing and sharing knowledge is imperative for competitiveness and at the same time competitors are very interested in our proprietary knowledge.

11. Do you believe that there is link between knowledge management and Competitive Intelligence (i.e. using your company’s knowledge to gain a competitive advantage)?
