The Areas of My Expertise

My research purposal paper will explain a little on the subject of competitive companies using sneaking techniques such as dumpster diving, stealing customer list, or luring past or current employees, in order to find out what their 'rivals' are up to. I will talk about some of the ways in which companies do this and also the way they get caught in the process. I will give the reader a little insight on some current situations that have come about between competing companies.
I choose to write my paper on this topic because one of my friends was telling me about how she learned all about it in one of her management classes and I think it is very interesting. Therefore, I decided that I wanted to research it more thoroughly. It's interesting to learn that many of the techniques companies are using to steal confidential information from their competitors is legal because in every case the means and action that they go through are extremely unethical.
By researching this topic and writing a paper that could be published in a newsletter I want to open the eyes of people who don't really know what all goes on between competing companies. I have just recently been introduced to some of the means and details of what happens and I would like to inform a few more people on the ways in which this happens and the consequences it has. Also, by giving example and stories on recent incidents I hope to warn people about some of the risk and some of the tricks competitors of a company will go to get want they want.
