Bribery, Globalization, and the Problem of Dirty Hands
摘要
The paper explores the intersection of two “value systems”, one which condemns bribery as morally unacceptable and worthy of criminal sanctions on the one hand, but justified and/or excusable in the search for competitive advantage internationally on the other hand. Bribery is suggested as posing a serious ethical dilemma for multinational corporations with implications for business ethics.
