Yes, it is widely practiced in this country and especially in international markets. The mainstream media in the US produce stories that are often misinformed or intentionally naïve on this topic. Stories like the Hewlett Packard pretexting scandal make “spying” news, but maximizing a team’s competitive and intellectual capital doesn’t require illegal or unethical acts.
