"Competition has become a driving force for innovation and entrepreneurship.\r\nCompetitive intelligence is a legitimate and necessary activity to increase institution’s\r\nintelligence regardless of what industry it is in. In the academia industry the open distance\r\nlearning (ODL) education has been developing rapidly with national characteristics in different\r\nparts of the world. To remain competitive in the light of challenging economic environment, open\r\ndistance learning (ODL) institution needs to capitalize on information and communication\r\ntechnology as deployment technology. The purpose of this study is to investigate the areas of\r\nintelligence practices (such as awareness, planning, collection, process and analysis) of the\r\nvarious operations and support services units of one of the open distance learning (ODL)\r\ninstitution in Malaysia. Due to privacy reason and to avoid any possible conflict of interest, the\r\nname of the institution could not be disclosed. The researcher aims to identify, discuss and assess\r\nthe relevant parameters to gauge the knowledge sharing culture and competitive needs of the\r\ninstitution. A primary survey was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire administered\r\nto the senior and middle-level management group of the institution’s various operations and\r\nsupport services units. The findings and implications of the study are discussed. In line with the\r\nexplosion of information technology innovations, this study explored on the provision of digital\r\nlibraries to facilitate the storage, organization and knowledge dissemination of diverse\r\ninformation as a productive way to assist the institution’s competitive business. Few strategic\r\nideas deemed as potential competitive capabilities are proposed as recommendations.(Abstract by author)"^^ . "2011" . . . "Open University Malaysia"^^ . . .
