ABSTRACT

This book, which is about corruption rather than just bribery, is unavoidably long, detailed and possibly disputatious because it takes an assertive, managerial – rather than a timorous legalistic – approach to both. It is based on the principle that regulators do not run businesses and is intended mainly for commercial managers who do. It contains more detail than ordinarily would be the case, to explain some of the things not emphasised by the Cottage Industry (see Foreword), but which are very important from a managerial perspective.
