I Think corruption starts within organizations is when There are no authority checks and balances that effects the mindset and integrity of The employees who are in high management positions and also working within the any department of a government sector or business.

India’s domestic business has seen high levels of corruption; more commonly the fraudulent behaviours and bribery of government officials and civil servants. This creates an unlevel playing field between domestic business and foreign business. Evidently this seemingly small issue of corruption could potentially tarnish India’s position as favoured destination of foreign investment (Mendiolaza, 2012).
6. Evaluate whether the changes in Exhibits 4 and 5 are likely to stop future foreign corrupt practices at Baker Hughes.
Someone who is abusing the power that is given to him or her defines corruption, however, the word in its self is more than a simple idea; it is an intricate network. Since people’s views about ethical and moral behavior affect the way corruption is examined, the word has a slightly different meaning to each person. Additionally, misconduct across various societies is viewed differently due to social and cultural borders. The criminal justice system has had many instances where corruption had affected the outcome of a case and has inserted itself into the legal process.
First, it is important to define what corruption is. The term, “corruption” covers a broad range of human actions,
India has a major problem with corruption. In the book The White Tiger, we see this problem throughout Balram’s life. The first time we are exposed to corruption is when Balram is just a young boy living in his village that is in the “darkness” of India. His village of Laxmangarh is in the darkness of India and is run by four landlords that use intimidation and scare tactics to collect an unfair amount of money from their tenants.(pg. 21-22) Another place you see corruption in The White Tiger is when Balram is working for Ashok and his family. Their family has to pay the government bribes to keep from being prosecuted for illegally stealing coal, and evading taxes.(pg.233) Imagine if we lived in a country where if you paid the national government
Corruption is a complex political, social, and economic anomaly that negatively affects developing and developed countries. It weakens democratic institutions, holds economic development, widening the rich-poor gap and certainly leads to governmental instability. The World Bank definition of corruption states that “…the abuse of public office for private gain”.
Speaking about corruption in the international realm was a taboo before the end of the cold war. But the end of the cold war has led to the consolidation of democracy, political stability, and respect for the rule of law, as well as effective development and expansion of open and competitive markets. In the recent years, especially from late 1980’s, the phenomenon of corruption has received a great deal of attention from the international community.
In China, corruption is so apparent that often people are disincentivized to owning businesses because permits and consultants cost too much and require bribes. Yet, bribes can cost the economy big money because essentially the corrupt businessmen are taking the money away from public services (111). The issues coming up in the future are that the governments that are corrupt might have negative impacts on other global economies and spread the norm of corruption. Yet, both countries do show the will to “purify the Party” which includes newly implemented rules against gluttony, adultery, and even playing golf under the leadership of Wang Qishan (113). In China a bigger issue is also the fact that the public is becoming increasingly involved in corruption scandals. Officials worry people will get carried away with excessive accusations (115). More issues stem from the type of political system that China has; they employ a nominal legal system that runs at the discretion of the Party leadership so this means that whoever is in power can change the entire political ideals. In India, they are based on a historical British political system with anticorruption laws but these laws are often not enforced. Yet, even when they are enforced, trials in case can last for up to a decade (116). In India, they are making moves to help out their corruption issues. They implemented the Aadhaar program

In some cases, government, politicians, and criminals entwine for the sake of amassing money in order to secure their own jobs. This form of corruption was apparent in the mafia’s association with the
The absence of autonomous institutions with responsibility, accountability and transparency combined with way too many people in positions with discretionary powers and no recall option of people in power is a sticking point in containing corruption.
India has an incredible amount of instability and corruption in politics. India has two main political parties- Indian National Congress and the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP). These two are the major parts of the Parliament government. Currently, there is a vast amount of corruption involving major issues like elections, railways, customs, revenue collection, etc. An example of political instability relating to corruption is the Hawala Bribery Scandal in 1990. The Hawala Scandal involved over 115 top politicians in India including the Prime Minister, Union Ministers, Leader of Opposition, members of Congress, etc. The politicians were allegedly receiving payments from four brothers who were brokers of the Hawala companies, which amounted to upwards of US$18 million. The case and investigation started with the arrest of two militants in 1991. One by One, the cases of Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) were getting thrown out. Evidence was counted as inadmissible and most politicians got off scot free. After the cases were dropped, it became public in a sworn testimony that the judge for the cases was made to make it all go away. It included three top political parties and everyone involved was a much involved as the next. This scandal rocked the country as their democracy lost trust and loyalty from the people.
This does not set a good example for the employees and can be harmful to the future of the company. Ensuring that bribery stops can solve many of the problems discussed above. Some feasible solutions are being recommended to help the company in both short term and long term. First of all, all employees including managers should be given training and education about bribery, corruption and what’s deemed illegal according to the law. Explicit measures should be suggested on how they can avoid supporting corruption and also where they can report to in case a situation where dishonesty is involved arises.
