In
today's business environment, the
development of new technologies provides a competitive advantage. Because
companies must devote significant dollars to develop cutting-edge products, the
theft of that research by a competitor provides an unfair advantage in pricing
and bringing the new product to market. Industrial espionage is utilized to gain
access to corporate strategic plans, research, manufacturing processes and
pricing.
