About SCIP
The Strategic and Competitive Intelligence Professionals (SCIP), formerly the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals, is a global nonprofit membership organization for everyone involved in creating and managing business knowledge. Its mission is to enhance the success of members through leadership, education, advocacy, and networking.

We received over a hundred responses from CI professionals operating in a variety of sectors and geographical regions. We surveyed participants on a wide range of topics such as the key challenges and concerns facing CI professionals, budget allocated to CI activities, average salary, what tools and resources are used to undertake CI activities etc.

While the findings provide a useful snapshot of the issues CI professionals are currently focused on, because the survey has been fielded in the past, it also reveals any changes as they developed over time.

Those who kindly participated in the survey will receive a complimentary copy of the report in May 2012. It will be available for download on our website at a later date.

• In terms of search queries, Baidu covers more than 80% of the Chinese market while Google reaches just 11% of market share. From a financial performance perspective, Baidu has also affirmed its position as the market leader. In February, Baidu announced a net income of $1.06 billion (up 88.3% on 2011), and a turnover of $2.30 billion (up 83.2%).
• In 2010 Google turned its back on the Chinese market following a run-in with officials over the censorship of Google’s Chinese site (google.cn). The closure of its local office in China prompted the search giant to set up a base in Hong Kong.
• Since January of this year, Google has reawakened to the huge possibilities offered by China’s burgeoning internet market by reopening its subsidiary there. It remains to be seen if Google can regain market share as Baidu has evidently established a dominant foothold in the Chinese search market.
