Abstract:
This paper describes the use of semiotics as an aid to monitoring competitive activity. We have taken a collection of typical ads appearing in the British Medical Press, and subjected them to a semiological analysis. On this basis we have drawn deductions about companies, their research methods, their views of their consumers, and, as a useful by-product opportunities for competitive development.
