   <dim:field mdschema="dc" element="description" qualifier="abstract">The mam a1m of this study was to explore the implementation strategies of 
Competitive Intelligence ofTelecom Namibia. Respondents were drawn from the TN 
business headquarters in Windhoek, K.homas Region, who are mainly in different 
levels of management. The study used the qualitative design and semi-structured 
interviews were used to collect primary data. Using Key Intelligence Topics (KITs), 
the study was able to explore the implementation strategies as a framework for CI 
implementation in TN. The study found that TN does not make proactive investment 
decisions in terms of global expansion and technological competitiveness or global 
alliances as telecommunication operators. Furthermore, the study revealed that TN 
does not have a formalised CI collection process, and the organisation is faced by 
challenges such as the lack of employee training and education, lack of management 
support for CI activities in the company, and ineffective CI policies and procedures of 
CI processes. The study also found that the main factor that influences CI is when there 
is an opportunity for threats. Data revealed that TN applies KITs to make new market 
and pricing decisions. The study further established that TN only implements CI 
strategies when the new market is risky than the company must research the existing 
products and their prices. The study recommends TN to establish a CI unit that will be 
funded and nurtured. The study also suggests that management provides enough 
support for CI activities</dim:field>
