Only few companies have done comprehensive researches . Recently I came across this site - ecompetitors.com, which apparently has quality information on top 10,000 global industries.

Most importantly it shows how simple it can be to gather data about large companies such as Apple and the industry trends.

For all the companies not doing this, quit digging your own grave, and bring in David to put some sense into you! -Dmitry The WSJ article you describe is a perfect example of competitive intelligence that any company with a long-term outlook needs to be engaged in.
