Contemporary approach of the intelligence domain is due to substantial changes that the umbrella concept of security has suffered in postmodern society and to the fact that at present nations have to face an extremely diverse range of threats.
Comparing with other country, traditional Romanian academic programs for studying intelligence and security are undersized. I appreciate that one of the determinants of this situation is the lack of demand for specialized security and intelligence expertise in labour market. Also the priorities of the Romanian private sector are concerned especially about profit and almost never in securing business and securing their broader community.
A strong security and intelligence cultures is beneficial for any area of society; still such a culture of entrepreneurial environment can make the difference between poverty and prosperity, employment and unemployment, community inclusion or exclusion.
Therefore the main reason behind educating managers resigns in the fact this category have a great social importance in society, as they are fully involved in economic development of society and linked to employment by the numbers of employees they have. Providing security and intelligence expertise in areas such as the protection of classified information, combating cross-border threats, protection against terrorism meant the medium and long term improvement of the civic behavior of everyone.
But their involvement in the traditional type of education would be extremely difficult due to their responsibilities. Their lack of time can be balanced by using an e-Learning system that allows the specialization of human resources with maximum efficiency and valuable time limited.
Based on the premise that one of the objectives set at European Union level is the foundation of the knowledge society, this paper constitutes an argument for implementing an e-learning platform to provide specific knowledge to substantiate the security and intelligence culture at managers' level.
