You are hired as strategic analyst for a Fortune 500 company. Your first task is to develop a competitive intelligence report to find key insights on the rivals' latest actions, current capabilities, and potential future actions.

Being new to this type of report and the ethical protocols, what should be your first action?

The first action should be to look for the annual reports of the competing companies to analyze them and see what are the competitive advantages of the company in which I am starting to work.

Once the information was found, it would make a comparative chart to contrast the results of one company with another.

Finally, I would prepare the dynamic report to the directors in the company where I work indicating the results of the analysis carried out considering that all the information has been public.
