Abstract

MANY EXECUTIVES DO NOT CONCERN THEMSELVES WITH THE SECURITY OPERATIONS OF THEIR COMPANIES, PREFERRING INSTEAD TO LEAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY ENTIRELY TO THEIR SECURITY DEPARTMENTS. BECAUSE TOP MANAGEMENT DOES NOT APPLY THE SAME PROBLEM-SOLVING TECHNIQUES TO SECURITY AS IT APPLIES TO MARKETING AND RESEARCH, SECURITY LOSSES CONTINUE TO RECUR. BEGINNING WITH THE REASSURANCE THAT COST-EFFECTIVE, RELIABLE COUNTERMEASURES ARE POSSIBLE, THE BOOK DETAILS THE ESSENTIALS OF SETTING UP A SECURITY PROGRAM, METHODS OF PREVENTING FRAUD, THEFT, AND INDUSTRIAL ESPIONAGE, AND MEANS OF DEALING WITH BOMBS AND HOAXES. FURTHER SUGGESTIONS ARE OFFERED FOR DESIGNING AND IMPLEMENTING A COMPUTERIZED SECURITY SYSTEM WITH ALL THE SAFEGUARDS NECESSARY FOR ADEQUATE PROTECTION. INCLUDED ALSO IS A SAMPLE INDUSTRIAL EMERGENCY PLAN OUTLINE AGAINST CIVIL DISORDERS. (SNI ABSTRACT)
