Abstract

AbstractMention a covert investigation and Hollywood images of James Bond or cloak‐and‐dagger operations come to mind. In reality, covert investigations are far less glamorous—and have become routine in many large business organizations.But you still must proceed carefully. A slipshod investigation can result in major lawsuits, serious injury, or even death. The author discusses covert investigations, explains when you need a professional investigator, and offers some general guidelines. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
