Abstract

Nigeria is an important market in Africa and one of the largest economies on the continent. Technology firms have implemented strategies to enhance their performance, yet they continue to face challenges such as decreased market share, profitability, and competitive edge. The business environment is volatile and unpredictable, necessitating enterprises in the technology sector to align their performance with environmental signals. Thus, strategic intelligence serves as a solution to the observed issues affecting the performance of selected information and communication technology firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study was 1,981 employees from the selected information and communication technology firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. A response rate of 97% was recorded. The findings revealed that strategic intelligence had a positive and significant effect on the organizational performance of selected information and communication technology firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. The study concludes that strategic intelligence significantly enhances organizational performance in selected ICT firms in Lagos State, Nigeria, as evidenced by the strong statistical relationship. This highlights the importance of strategic intelligence in driving competitive advantage and operational success. It is recommended that ICT firms invest in developing strategic intelligence capabilities to improve performance.
