Corruption by design? L'ArtiMarché's struggles in Russia
Publication date: 9 March 2012
Abstract
Subject area
Business ethics/corporate social responsibility.
Study level/applicability
From undergrad to executive education (the case series has been successfully used with MBA students and executives).
Case overview
The case series starts by describing how a fictitious company (called L'ArtiMarché) faced an individual corruption issue after entering the Russian market. After describing the company's creative reaction, the case shows that corruption issues can easily reoccur and might require a more systematic approach of L'ArtiMarché to fight corruption within the company and in the society at large.
Expected learning outcomes
Responding/reacting to (external) corruption; governance and compliance systems to prevent corruption; and contribution of companies to the development of the social/political/moral framework of their own operation.
