Dr. Loretta Graziano Breuning, a graduate of Cornell University in 1975 wrote Greaseless: How to Thrive without Bribes in Developing Countries.
Dr. Breuning, a Professor Emerita of International Business at CSU-East Bay in California, worked for the United Nations in Africa. In her book, she summarizes her hundreds of interviews conducted worldwide relating to encounters with corruption.
She discusses strategies for dealing with diverse legal expectations and getting over challenges to internal controls relating to bribery.
Though routine in some countries, bribery and corruption affect societal welfare, economic growth, and an organization's infrastructure. United States companies risk penalties and violation of legislation such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act if they participate in such activities. There is a need to balance appreciation for cultural differences while being skilled at resisting and stopping bribery practices.
