Bribery and Corruption: Is Signing the OECD Convention Enough?
Before the 1990's, the conventional belief was that corruption in developing countries was practically inevitable and in some cases even desirable.
However, a more in–depth investigation into this issue suggests that bribery and corruption can cause significant problems for all parties involved. For
example, for suppliers of bribes such as corporations, it can cause many uncertainties since the quality and the price of their products are not the only
factors considered in the transaction (Hamra, 2000). Therefore, corporations are not usually...show more content...
Russian government authorities claim that the facility violates various safety regulations. However, IKEA argues that the requirement that the mall be
able to withstand near hurricane force winds are ludicrous because there is not history of such weather conditions existing in the area. These
regulations appear to be intentional and artificial roadblocks put in place due to high levels of corruption. This recent incident with IKEA may
dissuade other foreign investors from investing into the Russian economy since they will need a large number of approvals from an incredible number
of agencies. This process provides for unlimited corruption opportunities. It is challenging for countries to fight against corruption because of the
difficulty in proving that such illegal transaction took place (Bloombergs Businessweek Magazine, 2009).
In countries such as Russia, corruption and bribery are common because poverty is prevalent among the largest part of the population. On the other
hand, Georgia has recently executed a rigorous fight against bribery and corruption. Even though, poverty is wide spread in the country of Georgia, it
proved that corruption can be broken with appropriate and decisive reforms. The World Bank's Doing Business listed Georgia 16th easiest place for a
company to do business, up from 112th in 2005 (Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project, 2012) . With the

Corruption of Government Essay
The unlawful use of a person's position while in power leads to multiple problems with today's government. The corrupt methods politicians use are
ideas that are strictly in place for personal gain. Present throughout history and still prevalent within today's world, government corruption has consisted
of a number of negative issues including bribery, economic and social impacts, and the misuse of power. Government's role within daily life has been
shown to have negative effects as seen in many aspects of life as well as in literature. Bribery can be defined as when one is offered money or some
other incentive with the intention to corrupt a person's actions.В¬ Bribery is the main component, if not the basis, of government corruption....show

If anyone in Equality's society were to disobey the Council, they would be punished. "We have seen one of such men burned alive in the square of
the City. And it was a sight which has stayed with us through the years, and it haunts us, and follows us, and it gives us no rest. We were a child
then, ten years old. And we stood in the great square with all the children and all the men of the City, sent to behold the burning. They brought the
Transgressor out into the square and they led them to the pyre. They had torn out the tongue of the Transgressor, so that they could speak no longer"
(Rand 50). The Council had shown the community the burning of the Transgressor as a threatening bribe so that the community would know not to
disobey The Council, because if they did they would be punished. The threat of punishment was an indirect form of bribery placed by that society's
government on its daily life. Bribery is one of the negative side effects that result from the corruption of government actions. There are also
economic effects that result from government corruption. These economic effects coincided with bribery. People who work for companies that are
at risk of being shut down for health or other reasons will pay any amount to make their problems go away. In Mexico, food store owners such as Jose
Luis Garcia will pay anywhere from $50–$100 to have inspectors turn the other way (Archibold). This happens on a small scale such as

Rhetorical Analysis
Scandal, bribery, and corruption: all aspects of everyday life, and sports. With countless scandals hitting the news every day, it is easy to see that
sports "players" are no exception. With scandal comes crisis communication. Rhetors use strategic language and techniques to save face and restore
image after a scandal. Apologia theory is a crisis communication concept which aims to categorize the strategies used in rhetoric to apologize, defend
oneself, and restore an individual or organization 's image. Theorist have studied famous speeches and situations from Bill Clinton to Tiger woods,

Analysis on bribery and corruption in the public sector
Introduction
There is one statement that "Bribery and corruption in the public sector, is endemic and unavoidable in all societies". This essay will make critical
analysis of this statement, targeting the public sector. Especially taking the example of US and UK regulatory framework, it will make clear
understanding of this statement. Through current academic literature by comparing, contrasting and critiquing views, this essay will develop a critical
understanding of the high possibility of bribery and corruption.
Current situation
Considering the public departments, they are the key to provide high–efficient and high–quality service to make social progress. Financial bribery or
corruption may be not prohibited, and this phenomenon will be more common (Pujas and Rhodes, 1999). In general, expenditure exceeds standard
level. However, resources in the public sector are the public resources, which is applied by members of the public sector making decision how to
make full use of them, and this may result in the bribery or corruption (Provan and Milward, 2001). Especially for those departments who control
financial management, it may pose a threat to waste resources.
Therefore, the public sector is based on its own right to receive any gift, loan, fee, reward and other advantages to do something, which is dishonest,
illegal or a breach of trust in the conduct of the enterprise's business (Kirkpatrick and Lucio, 1995).

Research Methodology
Title
A study of the effect of bribery and corruption with lack of censorship in the governmental institution
There are various reasons why corruption takes place and takes hold. Sometimes it is due to the fact that officials are simply not paid very much
and so they need to supplement their salaries with money from bribes. Sometimes the bureaucratic system is set up in such a way that officials
simply refuse to carry out their duties unless they are 'encouraged' by being offered bribes. In other cases it is actually part of the tradition and
culture of a country to give and receive 'gifts' in order to get anything done. In some cases companies from less corrupt countries allegedly engage in

Mostly, corruption occurs in environments where it is tolerated and where the temptation is too strong to resist. In the following paragraph there are
some examples of how bribes take place in each and every one of them. The enormous scale of grand corruption in Peru was revealed in 2000 by
discoveries leading to the resignation and self–exile of the president, Alberto Fujimori. Video–taped evidence showed that Vladimir Montesano's,
Fujimori's spy chief, had repeatedly bribed congressmen to defect to Fujimori's party to ensure its majority in congress. In addition, large bribes had
enabled Montesano's to control most of the media and influence the judiciary. However, Fujimori is credited with having reduced petty corruption. His
administration pursued policies reducing the role of government, which he justified not only on efficiency grounds, but on the grounds that reducing
the role of government would reduce opportunities for corruption. He attempted to reduce corruption in the police and municipal governments, in the
latter case by establishing a supervisory agency to field citizen complaints. However, his reforms of the judiciary are thought to have made it more
corrupt. Despite some progress, however, several institutions with which ordinary people have much contact were judged to be corrupt by
Transparency International in a November 2001 report. ast week did not begin well for Siemens CEO Klaus Kleinfeld, 49, and supervisory board

Voldyrev And Bribery Analysis
Discuss what people are willing to do for money. Why did the White Sox players accept bribes? How does this scandal compare to the reason
Voldyrev had to bribe the clerk? How are the individuals in the two texts disadvantaged by engaging in bribery? The things people are willing to do
for money are horrible and very selfish. According to www.newser.com 10% of the people are willing to enter into a sham marriage for $100,oo0
and 15% would fake their own death for $100,000. The thing people do for money is very disturbing because, they are willing to get into a bunch of
trouble and most likely end up in jail, and lose everything for that money. People don't think about what they're getting into when they do those things
and they lose everything just because of that money that will be gone in no...show more content...
Once money is brought up it seems like some people just do not care what happens to them. The White Sox players accepted the bribes because they
all thought they weren't getting paid enough from the owner Charles Comiskey, and thought that they would be getting money by purposely losing
the game and going on with life like nothing happened. The players accepted and went along with the scandal not knowing they would get caught,
but all the players worried about was the money, they did not care thinking about what happened if they got caught, lost their jobs and going jail as
long as they had the money. This scandal compares to the reason when Voldyrev had to bribe the clerk for some information. The clerk was very rude
and wouldn't even talk to Voldyrev or even tell him he had to pay. The clerk acted

Abstract
In this paper, I will be writing about corruption and bribery. I will define the terms and go on to explain the regulations that have been put in place to
stop corruption and bribery. I will then go on to give examples of major corruption and bribery scandals that companies have recently been in and what

or police officers), the act of corrupting someone or something, and something that has been changed from its original form". (Merriam–Webster)

This states that countries agreed to help out countries in need if they are under a new government with a lot of corruption. In the UK they have their
own form of anti–bribery. They installed the UK Anti–Bribery Act in 2010 with the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The act states that being
bribed, the bribery of a public official, and the failure of an organization to stop bribery are punishable under law through the act. It states that the
criminal can do a maximum of ten years in prison and pay massive fines for proceeding in corruption. This Act not only punishes organizations in the
UK; it also punishes organizations that have any link to that country with a universal jurisdiction. A major concern of this Act is that in some places
bribes are common and it will affect companies that are in a global market that do business with countries that partake in such activities. Like the UK,
the United States of America also has laws regarding bribery and corruption. This is the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or simply FCPA. This
act has two major parts to it. The first being accounting transparency requirements from the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the other dealing with
bribery. This United States law "prohibits U.S. firms and individuals from paying bribes to foreign

Pros And Cons Of Bribery
Ethical issues such as bribery and corruption in a cultural context are sometimes systemic and cause much harm to organizations and society as a
whole. Societies or countries heavily in depth of corruption lose all of their moral values and standards. Developing countries need leaders who are
committed to ethical issues, support their people to uphold ethical standards and behave in an open and transparent ways to send the message that the
fight against corruption is taken seriously. Bribery is unethical because it results in distortion of the marketplace. As a result, people who deserve to
gain something actually gain very little or nothing. Bribery means that someone gives another person something that they want in order to change the
recipient's behavior. For example, if someone is running for office and they give people money in exchange for votes, this is a form of bribery. It

He who is willing to pay the most will be granted the exemption, will shut out the competitor, and will gain the advantage. A plutocracy, a world in
which wealth and money rule, is not a system likely to capture the popular imagination. Bribers understand this, and for that very reason they do not
advertise their actions and are condemned to act behind the scenes, on the margins of legality and morality. Of course, bribery and corruption are
betrayals of trust. Noonan also puts it elegantly when he says: "the social injury inflicted by breaches of trust goes beyond any material measurement.
When government officials act to enrich themselves they act against the fabric on which they depend, for what else does government rest upon except
the expectation that those chosen to act for the public welfare will serve that welfare?" Equally important, bribery and corruption are deeply at odds
with the moral basis of most of the world's great religions, which have often provided the moral underpinnings of the modern state, as is

Bribery: Ethics and Business
Bribery and corruption is a way of life in many countries. These practices affect the way international business is regularly conducted. However, in
most of these countries, it is illegal to offer or receive bribes or engage in corrupt practices. Yet corrupt practices are a part of the 'culture' of 'doing
businesses. Unless companies 'conform' to such practices, in many cases, international business cannot be transacted.

One of the purposes in life for Christians is serving and loving God and the way to serve and love God is by follow the steps of Jesus of Nazareth
which has in the Bible, by doing so Christians will find the highest virtue that is love. For the Jew, one serves and loves God also but through actions
of justice and virtue. This commitment gives a sense of responsibility to family and community. Roman Catholicism has a tradition of formally
applying values to moral aspect of industrial relations as Pope John Paul II asked to rich countries to forgive debt from poor countries.
Religion has not only formal systems with codes but also instruction for social relationships as "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
called "Golden Rule" and many other can be found in all great religious of the world
Immanuel Kant proposes that no matter what are the consequences may be or who did it, but some actions are always wrong. "rules to follow in

Many ethical issues have been surfacing in the last decade due to the hand in hand prosper of international business globalization. The ethical
concerns include corruption, bribery, human rights issues among many others. Business ethics is a form of professional ethics or applied ethics that

2012 p 22). Bribery is the offering, receiving, soliciting, and giving of something of value in order to influence an action of an official or company in

The executives were involved in the company's decade long bribery scheme in Argentina. The officials engaged in bribery in order to maintain their 1
billion euro contract that they had with the government to produce national identity cards for the Argentine citizens (Posner, 2009 p 101–103). The
corruption scheme lasted from 1996 to early 2007. In the early 1990, the Argentine government developed a plan that would see it give every
Argentine citizen an electronic ID card. Siemens, in order to obtain the contract that was 1.26 billion us dollars, bribed some Argentine officials with
an estimated 70 million U.S dollars. The government in 1998 finally signed the contract with Siemens (Posner, 2009 p 101–103). However, a change in
the countries administration structure later revealed the contract. After Fernando de La Rua became the president of the country, the official that came
with him in the office questioned the contract on the basis that each Argentine electronic ID card reported by Siemens cost the double of what the
government had estimated (Posner, 2009 p 102). The government therefore suspended and cancelled the contract. However, during the president's term
in office, Siemens was informed by an intermediary that 27 million US dollars bribery would see the contract resurrected. The company, in order to
revive the contract, paid additional bribes until 2004 in an attempt that failed to yield any results since the

When there is bribery, it is practicable for bad company to survive because of corrupt officials. If both good company and bad company bribe officials,
community feedback of funding are much lower than private returns. Community returns are even lower if only worse company are bribing
government officials. As such, community returns from worse company are lower than community returns from good company. In fact, when worse
company survive in an economy with corruption, community returns from worse company are rejection, although their private returns are definite.
Consequently, bribery plainly display that it is an unethical action, even though by minor value. Hence, bribery may cause the economic growth of

method kept much of the German press 1860s on his side. Nowadays bribery is used by Third World countries, where journalists earn barely
subsistence salaries and as a result they accept gratuities on the side for putting certain stories in the paper and on the air. COMMUNIST MEDIA

does Bribery help or hurt Essay
Bribery in the business world is a very polemical term, where it involves the corruption between the private sector and the government. The article
"Does bribery help or hurt firm growth around the world?" by Jessie Qi Zhou & Mike W. Peng provides a good review and examination of how
bribery plays a role in the growing process of a firm and what implications or consequences it can bring. The article brings two important points of
view; the first one is focus on what levels the firms have to use bribery in order to obtain benefits (which depends in what country the firm is located),
the second point is in what degree bribery will benefit or injured the development of the company. These points are very accurate in the sense the article
Those rivals may not have to fear the possible legal consequences, if they hail from countries with more permissive standards. Second, the Policy
uncertainty is one of the key to show how it is important to have well structure political strategy to regulate and control emerging economies. Also the
authors state that "business regulations are often subject to constant change", creating a complex situation for businesses to implement a long–term
planning. As respond for that kind of complexity, bribery may be the most reliable tool to speed and facilitate important information fromgovernment
in order to be prepared for any new incoming event before other firms. Third, the Legal system quality is the procedures where the government can
effective monitor and prevent government officials to be involved in any type of corruption. But again, the authors mention another important principle
– the importance of transparency. Bribery is often observed in a government where the check and balance system is weak. Second, it really looks
like that bribery will always be a benefit for the firm as long no one finds out. But the article expresses a different point of view which I totally agree;
perhaps bribery is not the best solution for every company. Going back to example of Wal–Mart, the company could be well established and developed
in the United States; but when approaching other markets for example Mexico,

The Controversy Of Bribery
A bribe is to persuade someone to act in one's favor, typically illegally or dishonestly, by a gift of money or other inducements. Many companies have
been accused of bribery within their organization. Some of America's most well–known companies have been accused of this crime. Famous brands we
all know such as Johnson & Johnson, Hewlett–Packard, Tyson Foods, Ralph Lauren, Wal–Mart and many more have all allegedly been responsible for
giving money or other benefits in exchange for favors that will bend the law. "Today, corruption costs the global economy some $2.6 trillion every
year, or 5 percent of global GDP", according to the World Economic Forum. In theUnited States, stricter enforcement has increased and more

One way for a company to avoid bribery within the company is to assess all the risks that have to do with bribery. Businesses must educate the
employees about the risks involved. In most countries, bribery or acts of corruption are punishable by law which can bring a bad name to the
company and later lead to trust issues. This can severely hinder the profitability of a business. A company that has been found guilty of bribes can
lose consumer confidence; which results in the loss of profit. Companies must be aware of the differences and rules of conducting business within
other countries and avoid any malpractices (Prevent Bribery). Another way to avoid bribery is there must be a zero tolerance policy towards bribery
within the entire company. This can be ensured by top management explaining that bribery can lead to severe consequences which can involve
imprisonment, heavy fines, and termination. Additionally, a company must thoroughly run a background check of the client's, vendors, and partners;
as well as their credibility in the marketplace. Any cases of past history involving instances of bribery or corruption should serve as a red flag or
warning to a

Ethical Dilemmas Associated With Corporate Bribery
ABSTRACT
In today's business world, bribery has become an everyday problem. Some people consider it to be a fair business tactic, others consider it to be an
unethical act. This paper focuses on a particular bribery case and uses three different ethical theories, Utilitarianism, Kant, and virtue ethics to determine
whether or not bribery is an ethical or unethical act.
The Case
A former partner of a prominent New Jersey law firm has been indicted on bribery charges in exchange for legislation and other favors intended to
benefit the attorney's land–developer clients. Eric Wisler is charged with making regular payments to Democratic, New Jersey Senator Wayne Bryant
totaling $192,000 from...show more content...
However, when it is studied after the scandal is revealed, it is hard to find any hedons in the case. The harm done as a direct result of the bribery,
provides many dolors and very few, if any, hedons. In addition, the dolors in this case are greatly affected. Wisler faces jail time, Senator Bryant is
currently serving a jail sentence due to accepting bribes, and the land–developers who were not clients of Wisler had lost business as a result of the
bribery. An alternative to the situation would have been for Wisler to never offer bribes to Senator Bryant. When utilitarian calculus is performed on
this situation, many more hedons emerge. Wisler would not be facing criminal charges, Senator Bryant would not be serving jail time for the bribes
accepted from Wisler, and the land–developers who were not clients of Wisler would not be put at a disadvantage and would not lose business. The
land–developer clients of Wisler are the only group of people who may be considered dolors if the bribery had never taken place. As a direct result of
the bribery, they had legislation passed in their favor and gained business over the competition. After looking at both situations, Wisler should have
chosen not to offer Senator Bryant bribes. When the utilitarian calculus was done on the current situation, where bribes were offered and they were
caught, the amount of dolors far outweigh the number of hedons. However, when looking at the available

Ethical Issues In Bribery
The existence of bribery and unethical behavior is rampant in the world market and may not change overnight. The question of bribery has been
distilled in business literature as a question of ethics. In this situation at the airport with the customs officer, it is important to distinguish between
business ethics and personal ethics. In a business ethics situation, the Foreign Corruption Practices Act would prohibit offering any bribe to the custom
office – for example to free a shipment of goods that was lost in red tape (Pitman & Sanford, 2006). Most companies also have policies against bribery
as well. In this situation, however the main issue at hand is that of personal ethics. When in a situation where your company is unknown and there
Given that you have ceded all hint of bargaining power by telling the officer about your immediate departure, and that a moral stand on your part
will do nothing to ease corruption in the country, the best course of action is the one that will minimize the damage. Fifty dollars is far too much to
pay for such a bribe. The going rate for a bribe of a border guard in the developing countries is typically measured in five or ten dollars, maybe twenty
dollars, and this guard is simply taking a home run swing since you are clearly naГЇve. There is no need to increase the going rate. Produce a few
dollars and get your passport back. Being morally right by Western standards may make you feel as though you have made a difference, but your
stand has not made a difference and you will have missed your plane and put yourself through considerable expense and discomfort for nothing. The
time reflect on the morals of a situation is either before the trip (in which case you would have arrived much earlier and been prepared to wait a few
hours for your stamp) or relaxing at home with your friends and family, not during the middle of a tense negotiating situation with the clock ticking.
The Value Equation for Global Marketers Consumer choice is the output of consumers' individual value equations (Neal & Bathe, 1996). Consumers
make decisions about the relative value of goods or service– its benefits relative to its cost– and these decision

Bribery As An Unethical Activity Within Business
This thread will focus on the subject of bribery as an unethical activity within business. The purpose of this work will be four–fold – to provide a
definition of bribery, to examine the practice's prevalence in the global business environment, to reveal the locations where bribery is most prevalent,
and to inspect bribery's relation to the concepts of biblical Covenant, hesed, and mutual accountability. Examples and support from the textbook, course
materials, scholarly sources, journal articles, biblical integration, real world business scenarios will validate the claims for this thread.
Definition
Bribery is "a questionable or unjust payment often to a government official to ensure or facilitate a business transaction" (Lawrence & Weber, 2014, p.
105). The giving of money, the providing of a scholarship or gift, and the creation of favorable publicity are all forms of bribery (Sanyal, & Samanta,
2011; Sanchez, Gomez, & Wated, 2008). Within international "bribery...a...firm from country A offering financial or non
–financial inducements to
officials of country B to obtain a commercial benefit" (Sanyal, & Samanta, 2011, p. 153). Bribery is an unethical and illegal activity, as demonstrated
by the passage and enforcement of the U. S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA)(Lawrence & Weber, 2014). Scholarly research reveals that bribery is
a two sided process consisting of the supply side – the firms who supply the bribes – and the demand side – the individuals receiving the
