Case Scenario:
Bribery or the Cost of Doing Business?
You are a U.S. citizen recently assigned as the manager of distribution in a
European country where bribery is relatively accepted. Your job description
includes responsibility for receiving shipments as they enter the
local port authority. On your first trip down to the docks to sign for a
shipment, the customs agent in charge asks for a “tip” to clear the
goods for pickup. The value of the incoming shipment is around $150,000.

Opinion:
Before I ever went down to the docks, I would first want to get to know what
is acceptable and what would be considered a bribe. In this scenario, it states
that the country is trying to imitate a system where there is less corruption.
I would investigate if a “tip” is something that is commonly done at
the docks and if it is something that can be explained as to why the customs
agent would be expecting one. If I find information that this would go against
the country’s new policy, then I would tell the customs agent that I could not
possibly give him a “tip”.

Guidelines:
-Do not use Wikipedia as a reference.
– Original input is greatly appreciated it, so please integrate your thoughts
and experiences in the essay.

and to the point.
