Competitive Intelligence Report for Pharma Industry Available

Cutting Edge Information has a new report out titled "Pharmaceutical Competitive Intelligence: Building Strategic Advantage" that claims among other things that "only 6% of pharmaceutical companies house competitive intelligence functions within their business development divisions."

Here's a quote from the senior research analyst at Cutting Edge:

"Although business development receives much attention, no single group
has laid an unshakeable claim to CI's talents," said Elio Evangelista, senior
research analyst at Cutting Edge Information.  "CI has the ability to impact
activities across the company, from brand teams to business development
efforts to C-level strategic planning.  Industry-leading CI executives cannot
agree on where CI best fits within a company and where it provides the most
efficient results."
