Abstract
The big question of this dissertation summary is: “How does firm-specific technology disruptiveness affect the relationship between country-level corruption distance, host government transparency, and MNE’s decision to expand in an emerging market?” The objective is to offer insight on how MNEs and government can collaboratively achieve greater progress on curbing corruption and on stimulating economic progress and sustainability in emerging markets.
Highlights
Government transparency – the increased flow of reliable and timely economic, political, and social information accessible by all interested stakeholders (Kaufmann & Kraay, 2002) – is touted as a key factor in the fight against corruption
By instilling strong intra-firm ethics and compliance cultures, multinational enterprises (MNEs) will be able to avoid going down the corruption path
The dissertation can guide policymakers in their pursuit of government transparency by alerting them of the dangers they can face if their anti-corruption institutions are weak
Summary
Government transparency – the increased flow of reliable and timely economic, political, and social information accessible by all interested stakeholders (Kaufmann & Kraay, 2002) – is touted as a key factor in the fight against corruption. I argue, that transparency by itself cannot decrease corruption. Under certain conditions of institutional misalignment, it can increase corruption. Shedding light on government’s decisions, policies, and actions is a key mechanism in detecting government’s corruption. No Business corruption is on the supply side of government corruption. In some countries, business-to-business corruption is the main problem, according to Transparency International. Business corruption has received less attention in the literature. I argue that some multinational enterprises (MNEs) use corruption as a non-market strategy that negates supra-national institutional efforts to decrease corruption around the world
