Successful Marketing: Getting Personal About Professional Success
This white paper applies several common marketing principles to the personal task of professional career enhancement.
 

Where do you want to be professionally in five, ten, or fifteen years? How do you want your biography of professional success to read when you retire?

Have you ever believed that professional success is strictly a matter of learning and improving upon the job tasks or skills needed to do a chosen job and trying hard?

Simply having the professional skills to land a new job or new promotion isn’t enough to advance professionally.

This white paper takes several common marketing principles and applies them to the personal task of professional self-promotion and career enhancement. You too can become comfortable – and successful - assuming the role of marketing on your own behalf.

In addition, our founder – who earned an honors MBA – shares her acquired business knowledge at national conferences, in academic classrooms, and in corporate training sessions.

2007 Self-Employment Study
Study analyzes self-employment from the perspective of self-employed persons.
Burkhardt Research Services' credible market studies provide in-depth research and analysis applicable to the needs of our clients.

Potential clients may contact us directly for a summary of this sample report conducted on self-employment in North America (2007).  This study - which supplements standard demographic statistics from the census - looks at self-employment from the perspective of self-employed persons (reasons for self-employment, support mechanisms used, marketing strategies, etc.). 

This study of the experiences of self-employed persons demonstrates the breadth of our research while concurrently bringing additional attention to the small business people who help sustain our economy (we encourage everyone to do support small businesses in your community).

Persons wanting to cross-tabulate the complete study results may do so on a purchase basis.

Survey of Current Practice and Perceptions 2006
Study demonstrates how companies perform competitor intelligence.
Competitive intelligence is a strategic tool that studies individual competitors and the competitive market forces that affect a firm.

Twenty-three North American firms have been interviewed by Burkhardt Research Services. A sampling of small, medium, and large firms from the business community, healthcare, academia, and industry associations – and CI vendors - are included in this study. Participants include firms with varying degrees of formal-to-informal CI activity, firms with no active CI function, and CI vendors (consultants and software firms). Comparative results are analyzed within and across firm types. Analysis is given to the comparative scope, methodologies, and viewpoints of current corporate CI practices. It has been indicated, for example, that larger firms are often more likely than smaller firms to practice formal competitive intelligence. Companies conduct research and competitor/market analysis in a variety of ways, varying in the size of their CI departments, sources of information utilized, and in the internal corporate applications served by intelligence results.

This CI survey – a follow up to our 2002 survey of eighteen firms - is thought to be unique in that it comparatively interviews three different sectors: corporate CI practitioners, companies with no CI function, and vendors. The purpose of this study is to comparatively analyze current competitive intelligence (CI) practices across companies and to gauge perceptions about CI.
