Abstract

Defines whistle blowing before considering the dilemma faced by the whistleblower. Outlines the typical responses to the whistle blower and provides case examples from the aerospace and defence industries. Questions why companies respond as they do and asks if there are malicious whistle blowers. Covers the legal protection afforded to them and provides recommendations for both the manager and the whistle blower. Concludes that whilst the industry has improved, there leaves much work to be done in the future.
