How do societies deal with corruption? Which problems do organizations face when they operate in corruption-prone environments? Which actions can they take to enhance their integrity? This course provides participants with a thorough and reflected understanding of  corruption and integrity.

Corruption and Integrity in Business and Development

Participants critically engage with anti-corruption policies, trends and initiatives. They discuss differ-ent aspects of corruption and accountability from the perspectives of Swiss SMEs and multinationals as well as developmental NGOs.

Key themes:

  • Corruption in a social and politicalcontext
  • Anti-corruption policies and measures
  • Internationalization and corruption in the experience of Swiss SMEs and multinationals
  • Accountability and integrity from an NGO perspective
