Reviews
'Professor Shaomin Li is a leading management scholar who pioneered the use of relation based vs. rule based institutional view of societies and its impact on corruption, bribery, and international business. Li brings his deep knowledge from sociology to show why, how and when bribery and corruption have a negative impact and offers policy suggestions for combating this. It is a must-read for students and scholars of business and economics as well as those interested to have a deep understanding of the phenomenon.' Ilan Alon, Universitetet i Agder, Norway 'Shaomin Li is the world's leading expert on the governance system in weak institutional environments. In Bribery and Corruption in Weak Institutional Environments, he provides an innovative and interesting explanations why bribery and corruption are prevalent in emerging markets and how they affect business, social, and political dynamics. This is a must-read for managers and researchers to understand the behaviors of fast-growing emerging market multinationals.' Sam Park, Willamette University, Oregon 'In Bribery and Corruption in Weak Institutional Environments, Shaomin Li advances an original theory that connects corruption and key institutional variables such as political competition, rule of law, and scope of government. His analysis of the different dynamics in rule-based and relation-based systems is both insightful and thought-provoking. Combining comparative empirical evidence, robust statistical analysis, and a lucid writing style, Li's book is a major contribution to the literature on corruption and its impact on economic activities.' Minxin Pei, author of China's Crony Capitalism 'Using a comparative approach, Li provides a new and insightful analysis of why corruption flourishes in states with weak institutions, how different forms of corruption can differentially impact a state's economic development, and why corruption is widespread despite efforts to control it.' Andy Wedeman, Georgia State University
