| Abstract: | Corruption (hereafter as: corr. / anti-corr.) is defined as private individuals or enterprises who misuse public resources for private power and/or political gains. Ethical behaviour (here as: e-b.) is defined as individuals or enterprises adhering to a non-corrupt work or business practice. There are insights from a Danish research program reported on. This program identifies five different actions for dealing with corr.: 1. no action, 2. withdrawals from markets, 3. decentralized decision-making process, 4. establishment of an anti-corr. code, and 5. mutual commitment through integrity pact. The following aspects of e-b. should be regulated through an anti-corr. code: the company vis-a-vis political parties, gifts and entertainment expenses, political campaign contributions, and policy against small-scale corruption. |
