Finance and Tech Signal Bold Attitudes on Ethics
By JOE LIGHT
Excerpts:
Executives in financial services and technology are the most cutthroat in collecting intelligence about competitors, while pharmaceutical executives and government officials are the most trepid, according to a recent survey.
"Companies have different senses of what's right and wrong," said Fuld & Co. President Leonard Fuld.
Technology and financial-company executives tend to be risk-takers in other areas of business, too, which might make them more susceptible to toeing ethical boundaries, said Larry Kahaner, author of "Competitive Intelligence."
What I've found is that the more money that's involved, the less squeamish people become," said Mr. Kahaner.
The survey found that about a third of companies neither have information-collection guidelines nor do they share them with employees.
