Compartilhamento do conhecimento interorganizacional no Sistema Estadual de Inteligência de Segurança Pública de Minas Gerais

Abstract

In the context of public security, intelligence activity is the permanent and systematic exercise of production and safeguarding of knowledge aiming at advising decision-makers for the planning and execution of a public security policy and of defensive actions against criminal acts of any nature that threaten public order and the safety of people and property. The intelli-gence agencies of the State Public Security Intelligence System of Minas Gerais advise the governmental decision making process with knowledge of public security interest. In this con-text, it is important to emphasize the importance of the role of intelligence in the creation and sharing of inter-organizational knowledge, specifically in relation to the intelligence activity developed by the agencies that compose the Public Security Intelligence System of the State of Minas Gerais. In this study, we examined how the creation of interorganizational knowledge during the sharing of knowledge among the intelligence agencies of the State Pub-lic Security Intelligence System of the State of Minas Gerais occurs within its processes. In order to do so, from the methodological point of view, literature reviews and interviews were conducted with the heads (managers) of the effective Intelligence Agencies that make up the SEISP-MG. The IRaMuTeQ software was used to analyze the interviews. As a result, it was verified the existence of public intelligence policies that foster interorganizational intelligence sharing, that Nonaka and Takeuchi's SECI Model (1995, 1997) proved adequate to represent how interorganizational knowledge sharing occurs in SEISP-MG, The present research brings possible solutions to the problem of how inter-organizational knowledge sharing occurs within SEISP-MG, and how inter-organizational knowledge sharing has the potential to enhance the actions of intelligence activity within SEISP-MG. The present study provides possible solu-tions for improving the process of inter-organizational knowledge sharing and the importance of knowledge management in the public security intelligence activity of the state of Minas Gerais. It is also important to note that, in the case of intelligence organizations, the process of inter-organizational knowledge sharing in the state of Minas Gerais is not the same as in the case of the state of Minas Gerais.
