People and Business: What a racket
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."SUCCESSFUL RACKETEERS and marketeers have more in common than we think," says Roger Gaspar, the deputy director general of the National Criminal Intelligence Service.
You may agree. Luckily for people in stripy shirts everywhere, the crime- busting Mr Gaspar is merely planning to draw an analogy between organised crime and organised business when he addresses The Marketing Society on 16 March. Mr Gaspar says he will show how criminals use information, how the police manage information to track down criminals, and why the techniques of knowledge management are key to business success.
David Smith, head of knowledge management at Unilever, and David Snowden from IBM Global Services will also address the meeting at the Millennium Conference Centre in London's Harrington Gardens.
