On the Development of Organizational Intelligence and Strategic Organizational Competency

Chatterjee, Sidharta (2023): On the Development of Organizational Intelligence and Strategic Organizational Competency.

Abstract

In this paper, we design a simple model to explain and understand what Organizational intelligence is, why it is so important, and how it relates to strategic organizational competency. Organizations gather data and information from outside, while they produce knowledge from in-house research and analysis that adds to their knowledge competency and intelligence. This paper addresses these issues and establishes the possible connection between organizational learning and productivity and how such relationship help build Organizational intelligence.
