At Rauch Associates we work globally delivering competitor research. We have more than 25 years of experience supporting client’s executive, strategy, sales & marketing, product marketing and product management functions with tailored studies designed to target their competitors' commercial, operational, and organisational practices. Today, competitive intelligence is often based solely on desktop research using secondary online information sources and CI software tools. The downside is that information collected via this approach will also be available to your competitors. And whilst general competitor information is often available freely in every sense of the word, intelligence tailored to meet the needs of the organisation, validated, and well presented to be of real use to decision-makers often requires a specialist research provider such as ourselves. Going beyond the reach of Google the information our senior analysts gather will be the hard-to-find competitor information not generally found online and based on one of the most effective but also under-utilised research resources – people, the best source of accurate, up-to-date competitor intelligence. And with competitive intelligence quite often at the heart of every high-performing business, we’ve made it a relatively straightforward process to create a fixed-cost research brief that describes exactly what it is you want to know and about whom with a range of free resources described below – • Sample Studies by Markets Served • Sample Studies Performed by Research Topic • Study Question Guides by Research Topic
