Summary/Abstract: There are values and intelligence work. Is there any connection between these two concepts? The hypothesis is based on the idea that intelligence product is overwhelmingly influenced by values, human values. The general framework of this paper is the following relationship: value-attitude-behavior. The main objective is to explain how a value succeeds in influencing a behavior and how behaviors indicate a value to us. Intelligence communities are important for their predictive function and also for the strategic knowledge they should provide. Long term strategies are built around values. In the same time, all values are signs of vulnerabilities in one community, because once you know which is the most important thing for someone you have already found his “weak” point. The topic of value will be addressed in a way that is more pragmatic and less philosophical, especially with reference to the American psychologists Gordon Allport and Milton Rokeach. They saw in value a matter of preference and priority and when we talk about priorities we are nearby the strategic management issue.
