SUMMARY:ICI-1 - Competitive Intelligence Basics Workshop
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2488218/ ] Achieving competitive advantage through systematic competitor and market analysis
 In times of increasing competition and complex\, fast-moving competitive environments\, it is important to be one step ahead of the competition. Businesses have to anticipate the activities of their competitors when developing their strategic positioning.Competitive analyses are essential to the successful development of corporate strategy\, conducting anticipatory strategy planning and gaining a measurable competitive advantage. Competitive Intelligence\, which brings in a systematic analysis process\, adds the decisive edge to strategy.
 This workshop conveys the fundamentals needed to efficiently conduct research\, master information overload\, use analytical tools intelligently\, implement CI as a process in your business and make strategic decisions with greater certainty.

 This workshop conveys the fundamentals needed to efficiently conduct research\, master information overload\, use analytical tools intelligently\, implement CI as a process in your business and make strategic decisions with greater certainty.
 Through the more than 15-year CI-experience of the course instructor Rainer Michaeli\, "Competitive Intelligence" will be demonstrated hands-on and interactively through exercises and examples from different industries.
 Active cooperation of the attendees is expected during the workshops. After all\, it is your questions that have to be answered.
 Besides the workshop documents\, the attendees receive numerous current articles and checklists on the subject of Competitive Intelligence.

DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/1905100/ ] Financial analysis is the core to any interpretation of financial reports (P&L\, balance sheet\, cash flow\, source and application of funds) as well as other assessments of company viability and operations. For the most part\, key data is used to assure comparability of companies in an industry or in a strategic group. Also\, the CI analyst carries out individual company analyses to e.g. assess the viability of a competitive strategy. Financial analysis is one of the standard methods of CI analysis.

SUMMARY:ICI-29 - Text Mining
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2488119/ ] Controlling and managing the flood of data
 Under the generic term text mining\, many different technologies used to index (unstructured) content are grouped.  On the one hand\, these technologies comprise of term extraction and aggregation as a basis for semantic indexing\, retrieval and clustering solutions. On the other hand\, categorization of documents\, generation of abstracts to the point of detecting patterns and relationships between terms through steps of text analysis are the main aspects. These results can be presented in a “document warehouse” with methods from the Semantic Web environment and displayed with visualization tools.

SUMMARY:The Sustainable City 2010
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/4426068/ ] This Conference aims to address the many inter-related aspects of the urban environment from transport and mobility to social exclusion and crime prevention. The meeting will build on the contributions made in previous conferences\, which successfully managed to provide an international view of the problems facing modern cities and their solutions.
 Urban areas produce a series of environmental problems arising from the consumption of natural resources and the consequent generation of waste and pollution. These problems contribute to the development of social and economic imbalances. All these problems\, that continue to grow in our society\, require the development of new solutions.
