ORGANIZATIONAL ETHICS: MILLENNIAL VIEWS ON BRIBERY AND CONDUCTING BUSINESS IN EMERGING MARKETS
Abstract
Corruption is the core component that acts as a barrier for social and economic development in emerging markets. The examination of ethics within organizations that have entered emerging global platforms is essential to bring forth evidence of ways organizations are conducting in emerging markets. Research shows that organizations dress up the illegal bribes as the cost of conducting business; are these costs in violation of United States Laws? The secondary research examined if the desire of foreign exposure contributed to organizations involvement in unethical ways to capitalization on the rapid growth to remain sustainable.
