ANALYZING KORB V. RAYTHEON CO. CASE
Facts of the case
The case involved a former secretary of Defense (1981-1985, Korb, who had been
employed at the Raytheon corporation. Importantly, Raytheon is a corporation that
majorly deals with the manufacturing of defense equipment such as sensor, military
hardware and sonar systems, satellite apparatuses among others (Amir & Weiss,
2018).After sometime, Korb was elevated to the executive position of vice-president of
Raytheon Corporation due to his hands-on experience on defense matters which he
