Security Badges

            
             USE OF BADGES TO DETER COMPANY THEFT.
             "Our research indicated that, over the past six years, no incidents of employee theft have been reported within ten of the companies that have been our clients. In analyzing the security practices of these ten companies, we have further learned that each of them requires its employees to wear photo identification badges while at work. In the future, therefore, we should recommend the use of such identification badges to all of our clients.".
             Many businesses in our current society fail or have significant problems because of employee theft. The conclusion promulgated by this memorandum may be a valid conclusion. On the other hand, it just as easily could not be a valid conclusion. Research of this nature is often scientifically based. The basis for this memorandum may be scientifically based, but such information is not determinable from the information provided. There are certain criteria that must be met for a conclusion of this type to have any validity. This argument would have more validity if it exhibited more facts. There are many questions that need to be answered. There are many other factors that one needs to look at in order to give a reasonable evaluation of the conclusion reached.
             What type of companies were the ten companies? Various types of companies lend themselves more readily to employee theft. In order to reach the conclusion about the badges, the companies should be the same type. It would be unfair to compare an accounting firm with a wrench factory.
             How large are the companies? It is important to use companies of similar sizes when making comparisons about employee theft. One should not compare a 1000 member company with a 15 member company. .
             It would be helpful to know the significance of the badges. They may have been used just to identify staff as opposed to strangers/visitors. It would have more significance to the research if they were utilized to limit access to certain areas or materials.
