Abstract

The process of transforming information into useful and dynamic knowledge has different structural levels that can determine the development of strategic intelligence (SI) in an organization. That is, the way an organization develops and organizes its intelligence actions characterize the structural integrity of the process and can determine its strategic role. This article aims to analyze the relationship between the structural integrity of the processes of SI and its strategic dimension in a group of 44 companies that are part of a large cooperative of companies in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country in Spain. Data were collected from the general managers, R&D directors and innovation directors. To measure the SI constructs, a multi-item scale was adopted from prior studies. To identify a typology of companies, cluster analysis was performed. This study confirms that the more solid and organized the structure of the process of strategic intelligence is, the greater the strategic potential of the activity will be.
