Descripción
Sumario:The present study briefly analyzes the causes and effects of corruption between individuals (apples), organizations (barrels) and systems (cases), their interaction between each other and how systems affect organizations and individuals and vice versa. Which one corrupts the other is still unclear and there is still no empirical evidence about the subject. Corruption is not only about greed, power and search for unearned money, but bad behavior tends to corrupt other people, organizations and systems as well. Inspite all international systems and local organizational efforts to eliminate corruption, individuals still need to be aware about oorruption tentacles and its ramifications.
