Corruption is a pervasive issue that exists in organized human societies across the globe. However, recent reports indicate significantly higher levels of bribery, kickbacks, cronyism, and nepotism in the Asia Pacific region, particularly when compared to the "developed Anglo-European West." Despite numerous efforts to combat corruption over the years, particularly in the aftermath of the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-2000, the challenges faced by business organizations in corporate Asia remain daunting. Business corruption in Asia continues to negatively impact the reputation, behavior, performance, and management of companies, both local and foreign, operating in the region.

Against this backdrop, this latest collection of research offers valuable insights into the antecedents, manifestations, and consequences of corruption in the evolving Asian business landscape, as well as the efforts undertaken to prevent, manage, and redress it. This book will appeal to individuals with an interest in international business, particularly in the Asia Pacific region, as well as in business ethics. It was originally published as a special issue of Asia Pacific Business Review.
