Synopsis Corporate espionage brings out the pressures of competition in the corporate sector in an age where information and knowledge are power and dictate either success or failure. This innocuous practice of obtaining competitive intelligence has given way to a highly unscrupulous trend of hiring spies—often from within the victim organization—to act as a conduit for confidential information for use as a competitive advantage in business. Here, loyal employees whose integrity one could never suspect, foreign employees who were eager to get citizenship status, IT professionals who were seemingly wedded to the idea of taking their companies forward in the IT revolution, nations which seemed favorably disposed towards each other, all seem to find the lure of money too irresistible and engage in a deplorable game of selling business secrets, defense secrets, confidential research reports, design blueprints and everything else. Given this situation, what legal redressal systems are available to victims? This highly informative and engaging book comes topped up with a selection of some of the most revealing and horrifying cases of espionage in the corporate sector.
