Reihe: Management for Professionals

This book explores the evolution of intelligence research over the past two decades, emphasizing the development and implementation of intelligence functions in private and public organizations. A comprehensive framework for conducting intelligence analysis is presented, establishing and operating intelligence teams, and addressing the adjacent ethical questions raised by the nature of this field of study.

The key themes addressed include the methodology of intelligence analysis, the establishment of effective intelligence teams, and the concept of "disruptive intelligence," an emerging term referring to the identification of innovations with the potential to transform industries, making products more accessible and affordable. The book argues that recognizing these disruptions early allows incumbents to protect their businesses and new entrants to capitalize on emerging opportunities. This book stands out by blending theoretical insights with practical applications, making it an essential read for those involved in intelligence, strategic planning, and innovation management.
