Abstract: The economic intelligence represents a practice, which has always been informally present in organizations. The active monitoring of the external environment in order to surprise the opportunities or the threats that aim the organization’s life, as well as the reaching in legal and ethical limits to influence practices in the economic competition, are manifested at the level of the strategic management, nowadays strongly reshaped under the impact of the new economy. The present paper intends to emphasize the importance of using such a strategic instrument for the information’s management coming from the competitive environment, starting from economic intelligence’s particularities. For this purpose, there are presented the specific practices for the economic intelligence measure at organizational level and the measure in which their structuring on different categories (individual, relational, synergetic) determines a certain type of the organization’s strategic behavior. This analysis’ results are shaped by at least two perspectives: firstly, there is promoted a new strategic management instrument that regroups in a formal framework disparate monitoring practices of the environment, informational security or lobbying. Secondly, the premises for deciding on the orienting towards a certain strategic behavior type, depending on the organization’s potential in using the economic intelligence practices are being shaped.
