  Though corruption exists wherever there is organized human life, reports continue to show markedly higher levels of, for example, bribery, kickbacks, cronyism and nepotism across the Asia Pacific area-particularly as compared to the 'developed' Anglo-European West. Despite prolonged and multiple attempts to combat corruption across the region, especially in the wake of the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-2000, the challenges for business organizations in corporate Asia remain arguably as formidable as ever.

  Business corruption in Asia continues to affect the image, behaviour, performance and management of companies-both local and foreign-in the region. Against this backdrop, this fresh collection of research sheds new insights into the causes, manifestations and consequences of corruption in a changing Asian business landscape-as well as the efforts to prevent, manage and redress it.

  This book will be valuable to those with an interest in international business, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, and in business ethics. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Asia Pacific Business Review.
