Transparency International (www.transparency.org) publishes information about the nature of corruption around the world. Suppose you worked at a firm that makes computer software and wanted to begin doing business in Brazil and Russia. Your task is to examine reports and indices about these countries at the Transparency International site and write a brief report explaining how your firm should conduct business in these countries, with a view to avoiding problems associated with corruption. Key issues to consider include bribery and threats to intellectual property.
