INTELLIGENCE ANALYSIS PROCESS AND INTER-GROUP DYNAMICS 2020 http://ezaposleni.singidunum.ac.rs/rest/sciNaucniRezultati/oai/record/1/9997 https://bekmen.rs/zbornik/2020/2020-Zbornik-ENG.pdf P. Pavlićević The authors systematize the factors that affect the intelligence analysis process, starting from a taxonomy that classifies the factors into four groups: scope and quality of available intelligence data, individual reasoning (cognitive limitations of the human mind, limited rationality), inter-group dynamics and external factors (deception, denial, disinformation). In this paper, applying qualitative content analysis (of selected credible theoretical sources), the authors investigate inter-group dynamics and the phenomenon of group opinion as factors of influence on the process of intelligence analysis, especially considering the above-mentioned factors as limiting to the quality of intelligence products, and thus decision-making. The authors deal more closely with the time pressure and cognitive determinants of the intelligence analysis process. The article draws on security sciences, social psychology, cognitive psychology, and decision theory. The objective of the authors is to contribute to the development of intelligence analysis as a scientific discipline from a multidisciplinary perspective, more precisely, to conceptualize the segment which intelligence analysis must have in its research focus, to be operational in response to contemporary security challenges. conferenceObject 50 57 Proceedings/6th International Scientific and Professional Conference “Security and Crises Management – Theory and Practice SeCMan 2020”
