Integration of Strategic Intelligence with corporate strategic management is becoming of vital importance for modern and flexible organizations in the last few years. The main achievement of this integration is to help decision makers to implement systemically their corporate strategies, adapt easily to changes in the environment, and gain competitive advantages. In this article, the authors will extend the studies in this domain, and clarify the relationships between Business Intelligence, Competitive Intelligence with Strategic Intelligence. They will also explain the impact of Business Intelligence on Corporate Performance Management, Operational Business Process, Competitive Intelligence, and Strategic Intelligence. Finally, the authors will explain the new proposed framework BSC-SI that can facilitate the integration of Strategic Intelligence with Balanced Scorecard methodology.

Most papers in this issue deal with different sides of business intelligence systems. Empirical data froma number of countries and companies are gathered to illustrate how companies work and fail to workwith competitive intelligence.The paper by Alnoukari and Hanano, entitled “Integration of business intelligence with corporatestrategic management,” deals with the relationships between business intelligence and strategicmanagement. The paper proposes a BSC-BI framework that facilitates the integration of businessintelligence with the balanced scorecard methodology using an example of a case from the telecomindustry.The paper by Jürgens, “Patent bibliometrics and its use for technology watch,” is on the topic oftechnology watch and statistical analysis of patent information and proposes patent indicators fortechnology watch activities, which are classified into four categories: performance, technology, patentvalue and collaboration indicators. The case of nanotechnology for a whole country is applied asexample.The paper by Søilen, “Why care about competitive intelligence and market intelligence? The case ofEricsson and Swedish Cellulose Company (SCA),” tries to answer that question with an example of twoSwedish companies. The history of the intelligence function in private companies is compared to that ofstate and military organizations. The most interesting question turns out to be why more companiesdon't pay attention to CI and MI when so many arguments speak to their advantages.The paper by Gauzelin and Benz is entitled “An examination of the impact of business intelligencesystems on organizational decision making and performance: The case of France”. This empirical studyexamines the impact of business intelligence systems on organizational decision-making andperformance. They found that when BI systems are deployed in SMEs, they facilitate timely decisionmaking, improve organizational efficiency, enable a company to meet client’s needs appropriately andlead to more satisfied employees.The paper by Langlois and Chauvel is entitled “The impact of supply chain management on businessintelligence”. The authors argue for why it makes sense to see the BI function as an extension of supplychain management, but moreover they show how difficult it has become to separate BI from other ITintensive processes in the organization.As always, we would above all like to thank the authors for their contributions to this issue of JISIB.Thanks to Dr. Allison Perrigo for reviewing English grammar and helping with layout design for allarticles and to the Swedish Research Council for continuous financial support.

This paper defines strategic intelligence as a distinct organisational resource that differs from competitive intelligence (CI) and business intelligence (BI). A literature review unfolds a number of deficiencies in intelligence practice and systems. The findings, based on a case study, suggest that there is a lack of systematic scanning, analysing and support for strategic intelligence. An integrative framework is proposed to guide and improve strategic intelligence activity, which comprises of Key External Intelligence (KEI) and internal Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Implementation issues are discussed. The paper develops novel insight into strategic intelligence, and the proposed solution has implications on enhancing managers’ and an organisations’ sensibility and capability by detecting and responding to emerging strategic signals.

Despite the importance and the strategic role of Business Intelligence (BI) in organizations and its key impact on successfully executing corporate strategies, in most cases, strategic planning and performance management projects are done independently from BI projects, therefore a holistic and an integrated framework has been proposed in this paper for aligning Business Intelligence initiatives with corporate strategies. This framework as an interdisciplinary work borrows the approach of the Enterprise Architecture frameworks and its structured logical thinking about the organization and was refined through gathering and analyzing expert's opinions. This paper also uses a case study in one bank with the aim of clarifying the application of the proposed framework.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the status of corporate performance management (PM) in the Middle Eastern context, represented by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). In addition, the current study investigates the effects of the adoption of the balanced scorecard (BSC) and aims to explore the impact of the BSC on workplace attitudes and behaviors, as shown by accountability, inspiration, and motivation. Design/methodology/approach Due to the limited knowledge about the subject matter and the limited number of companies adopting the BSC in the Middle East, this study has adopted a descriptive approach to verify the significance of the BSC and to explore the causal relationship amongst the performance perspectives and the different dimensions of the BSC. The sample was drawn from five major business sectors in the UAE and KSA. Findings The results indicate that the BSC indicators are effective tools to evaluate and reflect on corporate performance. The concept of the BSC is considered good practice in the UAE and the KSA. Because of the concept’s compatibility with the local culture and business practices, it can be used to balance shareholder and stakeholder demands. Research limitations/implications One of the main limitations of this study is that the sample is drawn from only two countries from the Middle East and, hence, cannot be generalized. Originality/value This study is one of the first attempts to explore the status of the corporate PM systems in a non-western context using a BSC technique created and typically applied in the western world. In addition, this study is considered a valuable attempt at exploring the effects of the adoption of this technique on an organization’s performance.

After the strategic management period in the past decades, signs of forming a new approach are seen with a focus on the wisdom of organizations management. This study was conducted with the purpose of examining the relationship of organizational wisdom and the components of strategic intelligence among employees of the Iranian University of Applied Science and Technology in 2014. The method of this study is descriptive correlation from the cross-sectional survey type and as far as the purpose is concerned, it is in the group of research and development. The target population is the influential employees in organization decision-making including 591 participants and the sample size was estimated to be 236 people and the stratified random sampling used was sensitive to the groups' size. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire with 108 items was used with 5-point Likert scale that enjoyed content and construct validity. The Cronbach's coefficient was calculated to be 0.93. The collected data was analyzed using the statistical methods of correlation coefficient determination and stepwise regressions. The findings showed that statistically organizational wisdom and strategic intelligence are significantly related with the regression coefficient of 0.67 within the research model (p<0.01), and the components of knowledge management explains 43%, competitive intelligence 32%, and business intelligence 37% of the variation of organizational wisdom; thus, increasing the strategic intelligence in organizations is mutually related with enhancing organizational wisdom.

This paper focuses on the practice of Management Control within public organizations. Also, it provides an overview of the various constraints limiting the success of the implementation of this discipline in this type of organization. It also focuses on the impact of the implementation of a performance management system on these structures. Modernization and performance, two notions which is interdependent with the practice of management control, will also be mentioned in a synthetic way. In order to do this, we first present the concepts of modernization and performance. This was done according to different approaches. After then, it analyzed the performance management tool mostly used by private companies: "the management dashboard". Finally, the last part of this study will be devoted to discussing the relevance of the balanced scorecard developed by Norton and Kaplan. Also, they considered the balance scorecard to be the most appropriate tool in the public domain.
