ECONOMIC INTELLIGENCE AND NATIONAL SECURITY: TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COOPERATION BETWEEN THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND THE PUBLIC SECTOR
ECONOMIC INTELLIGENCE AND NATIONAL SECURITY: TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE COOPERATION BETWEEN THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND THE PUBLIC SECTOR

Summary/Abstract: In this paper, we will analyse the opportunity of developing a cooperation between the business community and the public sector, from an economic intelligence perspective, aiming to improve the economic security of Romania. The research question we try to answer is “How can Romanian companies and the national intelligence services cooperate, in order to improve our economic security”? Taking into consideration the various threats to the economic security of our country, in this paper we choose to briefly analyse the existing relationships between competitive and economic intelligence, as well as the concrete ways in which private companies and public intelligence services can cooperate, in order to counter the economic and/or industrial espionage. We believe that our approach can pave the way for further research that will contribute to the formulation of useful recommendations, for both Romanian companies and the public sector.
