Abstract:
National security can be built only on strong national organizations with a
highly specialized human resource, an organizational culture based on information and
a managerial conception capable of ensuring and using adequate, verified and processed
information (intelligence information) according to organizational competences. The
establishment within the main public institutions of Research, Analysis and Prognosis
Departments (DCAP) aimed at sustaining decision making process and with roles
comparable with private CI&EW structures might prove to be (if they are not already) a
necessity for the near future. The third millennium leaders have to understand that the
modern/postmodern management surpassed the information era, reaching now an
intelligence era. Therefore, we must prepare for such an “arms race”.
Keywords: competitive intelligence (CI), business intelligence (BI), early
warning (EW), knowledge management (KM), benchmarking, intelligence culture, smart
