Practical Implications

Strategically important information for executive decision-making is often not readily available since it may be scattered in an organization’s internal and external environments. An executive information system (EIS) is a computer-based technology designed in response to specific needs of executives and for decision-making. Executives having the “right” information for strategic decision-making is considered critical for strategic intelligence (SQ). SQ is the ability to interpret cues and develop appropriate strategies for addressing the future impact of these cues. In order to gauge the current situation in respect of information in an EIS and for managing future EIS development, the authors research EIS in organizations in two selected countries: South Africa and Spain. From their EIS study, parallelisms and differences are identified and implications for SQ are discussed. Some practical implications for future EIS development are given. The authors suggest these should be considered so that SQ for executive decision-making is facilitated.

Strategic Intelligence

Security in Mexico is still being one of the most problematic issues to address. Incidence of crime statistics and perception of insecurity surveys show that insecurity has not been reduced. In this context, the article shows the complexity of public security as an issue that involves the work of different governments but also different institutions withing governments. The research focused on the role of strategic intelligence as an instrument for decision making in public security issues in Mexican states. In this way, the article begins by showing the complexity of the public security issues according with the legal frame. In second place, strategic intelligence is presented as an instrument to address public security. In third place, the article shows the results of the research conducted to identify the capabilities to produce and share intelligence in all Mexican states. The main contribution is to identify the lack of mechanisms to produce and share intelligence in Mexican states but also the limited vision of intelligence as an issue related only to policing instead of considering other elements of public security such as prevention of violence and crime or social reintegration of criminals.

The Impact

Strategic intelligence, die evaluated informational product of intelligence bureaucracies, is a potentially important element in foreign policy decision making. But the role and impact of intelligence reports are very difficult to analyze, because of bodi secrecy and conceptual or definitional problems. Some new light is shed by a number of recent books, in three categories: essentially uncritical works by former insiders, muckraking exposes, and historical case studies. Collectively, these books improve our understanding of the variables that condition the impact of strategic intelligence on policy, or they illuminate die policy and bureaucratic context of intelligence activities. But only one of the recent books has a theoretical thrust. Great need remains, and opportunities exist, to move toward better dieoretical understanding of intelligence, or at least toward inproved information about when, how, or whether intelligence activities or reports have measurable impact on foreign policy decision making and policy outcomes in world politics.
