Economic / Competitive Intelligence Departments: a national imperative

Summary/Abstract: With the acceleration of globalization process and the lifting of trade barriers there has been an increased need for organizations to become more competitive on a dynamic and interconnected market. In this context, the role of economic intelligence is to ensure a steady flow of endogenous and exogenous informations, which, at the disposal of decision-makers, contributes to the adoption of more effective decisions, based on which, a competitive advantage can be obtained. Big and powerful companies were the first to understand the potential of information to increase the value of production factors.Later, by integrating mechanisms into national strategies, countries with advanced economies, managed to achieve and maintain competitive advantages. Presently, it can be appreciated that in the current competitive configuration that defines the international business environment, the need of authorities to develop and implement a national intelligence system based on intelligence departments, is imperative. The development of a public-private partnership aims to create a harmony between the interests of private economic operators and national interests, for the optimal use of resources, and the economic intelligence system has the sole purpose to increase competitiveness through intelligence. The competitive environment of this century has generated an acute need for knowledge from the public side, over the concept of economic intelligence, and an inherent need for knowledge over this concept, for decision makers from strategic positions in public or private institutions.
