eCompetitors Launches Global Industry Dashboard [TM] for Information on the Top 10,000 Industries, and for Competitive Intelligence at Line-of-Business Level

Posted on: Tuesday, 12 May 2009, 08:30 CDT

Line-of-business information dramatically improves strategic planning, marketing and competitive intelligence.

NEW YORK, May 12 /PRNewswire/ -- eCompetitors Inc launches Global Industry Dashboard [TM], providing information on the top 10,000 global industries, covering over 95% of world economy.

"We help companies that need line-of-business industry information or need to compare companies, side-by-side, at the line-of-business level," said Alan S. Michaels, president of eCompetitors. "We leverage ideas from Professor Michael Porter in his books Competitive Strategy and Competitive Advantage."

The Global Industry Dashboard supports corporate and business unit planning, industry and competitive analysis, global market segmentation, and more.

It took seven years to build the industry-based model of the global economy. Using SIC or NAICS codes was never a viable option for the eCompetitors research team which uses the Michael Porter five forces analysis almost exclusively to define new and existing industries.

"Companies rarely report at the line-of-business level," Michaels said. "eCompetitors uses its list of over 10,000 industries to normalize corporate data. Our market research team analyzes annual reports, web sites, and other materials to transform corporate data into line-of-business information."

In the Global Industry Dashboard,

  • The average Global 1,000 company competes in 52 lines of business
  • IBM competes in more lines of business than any other company, 626
  • HP, post their acquisition of EDS, competes in 332 lines of business
  • IBM & HP compete head-to-head in 177 lines of business.

Competitors for each industry are identified three ways: by brand name, by immediate parent, and by top corporate parent name.

The Global Industry Dashboard provides advanced search capabilities to find and then group two or more industries to create user-defined industry groups for customized analysis.

"All companies can benefit from accessing line-of-business information from their PC or smart phone," said Arsen Pereymer, CIO of eCompetitors.
