What is it about?

Misconduct in Business in the form of bribery supply is the result of a decrease in the perception of relationality or of the differences among good and bad behaviours, ending up being all conflated into a flat whole. Therefore, it is essential for organizations to ensure that all of their professional members are aware of the behaviours which are clearly considered as deviant. Professional codes and guidelines should be as detailed as possible leaving no stone unturned, and no grey zone or loophole apparent. One important way, to further compliance with codes or guidelines, is institutional functioning in its broadest sense. This means that the institutions (e.g. associations) in charge of devising the codes and enforcing them should themselves be characterized by relationality such as for example by separating layers of power and installing system of checks and balances, which would prevent the cover-up of controversial cases.
