Intelligence for Management is the first ever professional book from a former Chief of Intelligence Bureau of India on the applications of the principles and skills of Intelligence for the successful management of any large organization that aspired to achieve and maintain a competitive advantage. The author enunciates the path breaking view that the world is transiting from the ‘Age of Information’ to the ‘Age to Intelligence’ because of which concepts like knowledge-based decision making, analysis for intelligence, speedy communication, resource value of time, and use of confidentiality are acquiring a new-found meaning and importance. Many of the mantras that are now being rediscovered by the management gurus were traditionally built into the working of a classical Intelligence organization that sought to perform successfully under democratic governance.

This book is the last in the trilogy of the author’s works on applied intelligence after the two published earlier-‘Intelligence: A Security Weapon’ and ‘Intelligence: Corporate Success and Vigilance’. They define the relevance of this subject for nations, organizations and individuals. Intelligence orientation is an essential component of the process of up-gradation of the human resource in any organization or system that is on test for performance and productivity. In the Age of Intelligence the strategies of recruitment, evaluation and due diligence need to be reset and the business schools need to beef up their management courses to meet the requirements of our times.
