Developing Competitive Intelligence Programs in Romania
Developing Competitive Intelligence Programs in Romania

Summary/Abstract: Intelligence and knowledge are now fundamental resources of every organization. But very few of these entities have the capabilities and the capacity to efficiently manage intelligence and knowledge, with the purpose of gaining a competitive advantage as a result of exploiting their intelligence & knowledge management systems. Moreover, there is an acute lack of qualified human resource, needed in having the vision and to design, create, implement, develop and coordinate such systems. Therefore, a need has arisen for the development of study programs in the field of competitive intelligence, focused on preparing experts in the field for the public and private sector. On the other hand, Romania, in spite of its EU and NATO membership has registered a significant delay in this field, which makes it necessary to accelerate the process of building its own economic and competitive intelligence component for a national intelligence system. The purpose of this article is to raise awareness regarding the need for developing study programs in the field of competitive intelligence and knowledge management as a first important step in the direction of insuring Romania a competitive advantage on the international market.
