Industrial spying
There could be different levels of that, depending on how much money the player spends on it.
Level 1: you try to get information about what your opponents are developing. If the mission is succesful you will get an info like "XYZ Motors designs a new compact car. It has a front engine and rear-wheel drive. The design process will be finished in 2 years. "
Level 2: you try to steal advanced part or technology what your opponent has but you don't own yet. If the mission is unsuccesful (the spy loses his cover) the prestige of your company hurt -> your sales decline.
Level 3: you try to steal a complete engine design or a complete car design. If your spy loses its cover it would cause a HUGE prestige loss for your company, and would greatly impact your sales.
The higher would be the level of the spy mission the less would be the chance to be succesfull. Anyway, it would have a very small chance to achieve big results this way, to prevent the over-use of this feature in the game.
