Summary/Abstract: informational processses, various sugestions to adapt the intelligence cycle range fromslightly amending the model to radical change. This paper supports an adaptation of thecycle, and gets inspiration from communication theory, where the receiver of thecommunication is, of course, part of this process. The decision taken by the beneficiaryand the subsequent actions take place in the risk management system, above theintelligence system.
