Reviews
Contributors from a wide range of business sectors summarize corrupt practices in general and more particularly in different business sectors from an ethical perspective. They cover what organizational corruption is; corruption: maximizing, socializing, balancing, and othering; petty corruption: facilitating payments and grease money; the impact of disguised bribes: distorting the basic functions of gift-giving practices; nepotism and cronyism as cultural phenomena, and viable and non-viable methods for corruption reform. Then they survey corruption in governments and in such businesses as information technology, banking, health care, pharmaceuticals, construction, sports, and the media. -- Annotation (c)2017 * (protoview.com) *
