ABSTRACT
This study aims to investigate the mediating role of business intelligence in the relationship between critical success factors for business intelligence and strategic intelligence in the ear of the COVID-19 epidemic. The data acquired from a sample of 392 managerial positions from Jordanian commercial banks was examined using a multi-regression analysis in SPSS. This study's findings came in agreement with the notion that business intelligence boosts the link between CSF for BI and strategic intelligence. The study's findings have clues for both the current body of literature and decision-makers. Hence, businesses that have embraced BI understand the advantages of improving their strategic intelligence skills and decision-making procedures during the COVID-19 outbreak.
ABSTRACT
The analysis of bibliometric data from scientific journals is a tool of Technological Surveillance and Strategic Intelligence that the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Innovation of Argentina has been adapting for the identification of research trends and scientific production at national and international level. The present work is the synthesis of the scientific effort of Argentina, carried out in the years 2020 and 2021, as a contribution to the generation of responses with evidence and knowledge, by the health system and public policy, to the management of the pandemic. Which organizations have the most publications? What are the main topics of interest? Who funds the research? and What are the topics of interest of private enterprise? are some of the questions and answers that are investigated in this work. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
As travel and travel bans and interruptions multiplied due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the tourism sector suffered a great impact, travel agency managers had to adapt to new realities and resort to strategic skills to driving your entire team through the change processes. Thus, this article sought an answer to the following question: what is the strategic intelligence index of travel agency managers in the city of Teresina-PI in the pandemic scenario? The research had as general objective to measure the strategic intelligence of the managers of the travel agencies located in the city of Teresina - PI and as specific to identify which factors contribute to the strategic intelligence of these managers;order how these factors contribute to the management of the business;to list the sub-factors that stand out the most in the behavior of these managers, related to: strategic competence, entrepreneurship, leadership, knowledge and behavior. The results showed that the managers' strategic intelligence index is regular, and in the leadership factor the result was deficient, in the strategic competence factors;entrepreneurship;knowledge and behavior were regular.

ABSTRACT
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) provides geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) for our nations security. NGA is the world leader in timely, relevant, accurate, and actionable GEOINT and a unique combination of combat support agency and intelligence agency. Anyone who fights wars, locates targets, sails a U.S. ship, flies a U.S. aircraft, makes national policy decisions, responds to natural disasters, or even navigates with a cell phone relies on NGA. The year 2020 represents a historic inflection point for our agency, our community, and our nation. In addition to the challenges we currently face from the COVID-19 pandemic, great power competition has re-emerged as another challenge to U.S. prosperity and security. From a national security perspective, our near-peer adversaries pose real threats. To helpmeet this challenge, NGA intends to deliver trusted GEOINT with the speed, accuracy, and precision required to hold at risk the strategic forces our adversaries use to project power and threaten the United States and our Allies.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: Given the nature of corona chaos, tech startups confront strategic disorientation;therefore, this study aims to constructively engage with the theory development process in the area of management decision, adopt causal complexity with a configurational approach of McKinsey's 5R paradigm and the Newtonian gravitational field. Design/methodology/approach: This study provides a novel conceptualization of systematic research of explanatory mechanisms for navigating the turbulence and consequences of the COVID-19 crisis. This configurational study shows how European tech startups adopt strategies in addressing COVID-19 challenges successfully. Findings: The analysis reveals configurations that lead to the outcome of the conceptual model, namely, reimagining the equifinal paths to the next normal. The findings suggest that, in navigating the crisis, tech startups are able to seize market opportunities, capture technological opportunities and consolidate their future positions. Research limitations/implications: The principal limitation consists of limited empirical evidence regarding tech startups’ ability to navigate Covid-19 crisis and choose the appropriate path to the next normal. Practical implications: This study enhances European tech startups’ capability to adopt reflexivity and openness while navigating the Covid-19 chaotic context. Furthermore, the study provides a managerial toolkit to guide strategic decisions via deepening their understanding of the new created realities. Originality/value: This study provides a novel conceptualization of systematic research on explanatory mechanisms for navigating the turbulence and consequences of the COVID-19 crisis context. This configurational study shows how European tech startups adopt strategies that address COVID-19 challenges successfully. © 2022, Emerald Publishing Limited.
ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all aspects of society. Researchers worldwide have been working to provide new solutions to and better understanding of this coronavirus. In this research, our goal was to perform a Bibliometric Network Analysis (BNA) to investigate the strategic themes, thematic evolution structure and trends of coronavirus during the first eight months of COVID-19 in the Web of Science (WoS) database in 2020. To do this, 14,802 articles were analyzed, with the support of the SciMAT software. This analysis highlights 24 themes, of which 11 of the more important ones were discussed in-depth. The thematic evolution structure shows how the themes are evolving over time, and the most developed and future trends of coronavirus with focus on COVID-19 were visually depicted. The results of the strategic diagram highlight 'CHLOROQUINE', 'ANXIETY', 'PREGNANCY' and 'ACUTE-RESPIRATORY-SYNDROME', among others, as the clusters with the highest number of associated citations. The thematic evolution. structure presented two thematic areas: "Damage prevention and containment of COVID-19" and "Comorbidities and diseases caused by COVID-19", which provides new perspectives and futures trends of the field. These results will form the basis for future research and guide decision-making in coronavirus focused on COVID-19 research and treatments.
