Assignment:
According to Adam Penenberg and Marc Barry, why do major U.S. companies often hire spies, or rather, “competitive intelligence” agents (1)?
The agency that hired Barry as a corporate spy belonged to the Society of Competitive Intelligence Professionals (SCIP), a trade organization that prohibits its members from obtaining information by “misrepresentation or deception” (5). By what “loophole” in the law did Barry and his employer get around this rule?
We are told that the spying Barry did for his client was not illegal. Was it ethical? Why or why not?
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format and also include references.
