The author outlines a fictional company and asks the reader to act as a strategic  analyst to retrieve real environmental information related to the business. Discusses,  in detail: environmental scanning, text mining, competitor analysis, and scenario and simulation analysis. Shows how to use these techniques to convert real information into business intelligence. Well written and practical. Highly recommended.”
