Espionage is the collection, collation, and analysis of illicitly gained information. In the case of industrial espionage, the most common objectives are to determine competitor activities with regard to new products, formulations, research areas of interest, production methodology, production quantities, promotional programs, distribution, and economics. Corporate espionage is also used to examine products or ingredients for perceived or actual risks, to time markets, and to establish pricing. All too commonly, companies find themselves the targets of such activity without the knowledge or methodology to effectively counter it.
