Market Research and Business Intelligence are not
(just) about what competitors and markets are doing.
Marketing tracks it all the time
Management is well briefed on it
News clipping and monitoring largely serves the need
It’s about what competitors and markets will be doing.
You must predict their likely strategies and moves.
How will customers and end-users evolve and change?
What will competitors be doing to your customers?
What will suppliers be doing to your distribution and value chain?
What will alternative technologies change the rules of the game?
What will new entrants and acquisitions do to your industry.

Internet Searching
Growth in Internet users and sites continues unabated
Even the best search engines index only a modest fraction of the open/free web, multiple search engines a little better
Much content is sequestered from general searching
Stuff just too obscure to find
Content deep within sites, foreign country based
Sites and pages come and go quickly - “link rot”
Content & pages marked for robot exclusion
Dynamically created content and page views
Content behind passwords & gateways for subscribers
Proprietary Intranet and Extranet sources
Mixed-model search engines are arising integrating licensed content with open/free web hits, but learning and using the Invisible Web is essential to good searching strategies.

Magazine & Periodical Sources
Publishers’ sites may allow searching across all of their sources
Niche and vertical portals may carry licensed content streams
Numerous alert services summarize topical stories and point you
back to a multitude of sources
Some are topically-based while others allow user profiles
Topical blogs highlight breaking stories and news
Hundreds of Internet resource lists point to online publication sites
![Page 34: Ahwatukee CoC Market Research for Entrepreneurs Presentation 11_19_14](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081404/55943db11a28abde5b8b461f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Press Releases
Business Wire and PR Newswire still rule
Alternative distribution services are arising
May be an opt-in model with limited coverage
MediaMap & Internet Wire up-and-comers
May primarily reach online or niche publishers
Searching is more difficult unless you know who a target company
uses to distribute their releases through.
Check the company’s web site for current and archived releases..
Rely on media searches to gauge reach and impact

Crowdfunding involves obtaining funds for one’s projects from a
multitude of people who pledge or contribute a small amount in order to
attain a certain return on their investment, which may be some level of
equity in a project. The dilemma right now for equity crowdfunding in the
USA is SEC regulation of the entire process and venture capital investors’
potential issues with follow on funding for crowdfunded startups.
You can find an enormous repository of information on all forms of
crowdsourcing at http://www.crowdsourcing.org/, including crowdfunding
