'Spy' course planned

The city is expected to launch a professional qualification certificate
for business competition intelligence analysts, an occupation that is in
high demand but lacks systematic training.

Part of a company's strategy development department, intelligence
analysts are responsible for searching, collecting and analyzing
information about industry development, market prospect and competitors
for their employer.

The "spy-like" professionals will be trained to acquire the information
through legal ways such as searching the media and Internet. More
importantly, they should be able to get business updates by interpersonal
communication skills.

"As information and technology are the two key factors to success in
modern society, business people have come to realize that a good
information-capture ability is core to winning market competition," said
Zhu Lemin, director of the Shanghai Labor and Social Security Bureau's
training center.

Training center officials said that most big companies, especially
multinationals, had set up at least one or two market intelligence
positions. That has generated a professional demand of 100,000 people in
the city.

A business intelligence analyst is paid 5,000 yuan (US$625) a month on
average, with highest salary exceeding 10,000 yuan a month.

However, most of the working intelligence analysts had no systematic and
professional training, said Chen Biaofeng, one of the qualification
certificate program designers.
