How do societies deal with corruption? Which problems do organizations face when they operate in corruption-prone environments? Which actions can they take to enhance their integrity? This course provides participants with a thorough and reflected understanding of corruption and integrity.
Participants critically engage with anti-corruption policies, trends and initiatives. They discuss different aspects of corruption and accountability from the perspectives of Swiss SMEs and multinationals as well as developmental NGOs. Based on case studies, participants assess their own awareness of corruption and discuss strategies and solutions to avoid involvement in practices that don’t comply with Swiss or foreign law and/or their organizations’ own codes of conduct.
