Strategic Intelligence and Innovation in a Public Enterprise: Analysis Based on the Holistic Approach

Abstract

In a context marked by a diversity of reforms, unpredictability of crisis and an intensity of ecosystem requirements, public enterprises meet challenges qualified as complex and multi-dimensional. In addition, there is an increasing need to innovate products, services, and managerial practices. Meeting these challenges requires switching the mode of management to a more proactive one based on Strategic Intelligence. In our knowledge, the previous studies analyzed the impact of Strategic Intelligence on innovation from different angles and without articulating the functions of Strategic Intelligence which generate ambiguities involved in practical application. For this purpose, our study aims to investigate how to articulate Strategic Intelligence with innovation in a public enterprise. Our study was based on the qualitative method by conducting interviews in a public enterprise. The main results of our study pointed out that Strategic Intelligence could support innovation through its triptych, highlighting the importance of adopting a holistic approach to analyze Strategic Intelligence and innovation.
