Abstract: Abstract In 2005, in From Knowledge to Intelligence: Creating Competitive Advantage in the Next Economy, we introduced the Strategic Protection Factors (SPF) framework. This taxonomy reflected the dynamic interplay between knowledge management (KM) and the competitive need to develop and share the firm’s knowledge assets, and competitive intelligence (CI) activity that threaten these same assets. By examining the different circumstances in each SPF category, we suggested that an optimal balance between knowledge development and knowledge protection could be struck. The main idea was that knowledge needed to be managed strategically: sometimes aggressively pursuing KM, sometimes not, sometimes aggressively pursuing CI, sometimes not.
