✦ Synopsis
Identifying the real talent at a rival company can help predict the competitor's future directions, as well as its likelihood for long-term success. Grand-sounding titles can often be misleading as to who exercises actual influence regarding particular functions. Aside from occupying offices with considerable formal authority, truly powerful individuals in a corporate setting are those who acquire important resources, "absorb uncertainty" for the organization, have high visibility in terms of public relations efforts and external media coverage, and make the employer dependent upon themselves for the successful completion of certain key activities. Internet web sites and online databases and are a good place to begin researching who these individuals are.
