This is your first week in your new job at Safety Zone, a
leading producer of IT modeling software. Your prior experience
with a smaller competitor gave you an edge in landing the job, and
you are excited about joining a larger company in the same
field.

So far, all is going well and you are getting used to the new
routine. However, you are concerned about one issue. In your
initial meeting with the IT manager, she seemed very interested in
the details of your prior position, and some of her questions made
you a little uncomfortable. She did not actually ask you to reveal
any proprietary information, but she made it clear that Safety Zone
likes to know as much as possible about its competitors.

Thinking about it some more, you try to draw a line between
information that is OK to discuss, and topics such as software
specifics or strategy that should be considered private.

This is the first time you have ever been in a situation like
this. How will you handle it?
