The author fails to mention the imperative that those who are sent to glean information from their opposition do not fall into the trap of giving away useful information from their side. There should be no quid pro quo.

Otherwise, a very good article.

David,
I accept your comment although, in mitigation, there was a word limit on this particular article. But you may wish to refer to my recent article "Safeguarding company secrets: the people perspective" published in Management Systems Asia last month.
