SECURING COMMUNITY, SECURING BUSSINESS! MANAGERS SECURITY AWARENESS THROUGH E-LEARNING

Summary/Abstract: The contemporary approach of the intelligence domain is subsequent to substantial changes that the umbrella concept of security has suffered in postmodern society and to the fact that nowadays nations have to face an extremely diverse range of threats. By comparison with other countries, traditional Romanian academic programs for studying intelligence and security are undersized. I appreciate that one of the determinants of this situation is the lack of demand for specialized security and intelligence expertise in labor market. Also the priorities of the Romanian private sector are concerned especially about profit and neglect the security of both the business and the broader community. A strong security and intelligence cultures is beneficial for any area of society; still, such a culture of entrepreneurial environment can make the difference between poverty and prosperity, employment and unemployment, community inclusion or alienation. Therefore the main reason behind educating managers resigns in the fact this category has a great social importance, as it is fully involved in the economic development of the society and is pertaining to employment by the numbers of employees they have. Providing security and intelligence expertise in areas such as the protection of classified information, combating cross-border threats, protection against terrorism meant the short and long term improvement of each person's civic behavior. But their involvement in the traditional type of education would be extremely difficult due to their responsibilities. Their lack of time can be balanced by using an e-Learning system that allows the specialization of human resources with maximum efficiency and limited valuable time. Based on the premise that one of the objectives set at European Union level is the foundation of the knowledge society, this paper represents an argument for implementing an e-learning platform to provide specific knowledge to substantiate the security and intelligence culture at managers' level.
