Who should use this workbook 

This workbook is aimed at companies in which technology has a significant role. It is intended to help these companies evaluate their process for gathering information about technologies relevant to their business.

This book will guide anyone in the company who makes decisions about the use, development, or selection of technology, or who is involved in gathering technological information to review their current intelligence activities. A more complete portrait of technology intelligence activities will be drawn if a broad crosssection of decision makers and technologists answer the questions provided.
