Art of Giving: Bribery or Token of Appreciation

Recently an US company got some unwanted publicity.  It was reported that the company was being investigated by the government for bribery in a foreign country.  It looks like the prosecutors taking the matter seriously.    The items under investigation involved payments as little as $20.

No one likes to see bribery taking place in business.  As much bad taste as we all have on corruption, bribes and favors  will never disappear in the world of commerce.  Venal will only add another layer of obstacle and costs in doing business.  But once a successful business man told me that  bribery is good for business.  The extra creases to the wheels expedite business dealings.  -  Ayee
