Course content & learning objectives

Chapters

What is corruption?

Corruption is a blanket term for various criminal offenses. This part of the course shows what they have in common and which structures make purchasing and sales so susceptible to corruption.

Changing Tides

In contrast to the past, bribery is now widely condemned in international trade. In this chapter you will get an overview of the current developments.

Small favors

Small favors are viewed critically by companies and legislators. Learn how these can be used as a gateway to corruption.

A Narrow Line

The line between cultivating relationships and active bribery is much tighter than it used to be. Here, we show what Purchasing & Sales must pay attention to in each case when dealing with business partners.

Deceptive advantages

Corruption means: one side promises an advantage and the other side lets itself be promised this advantage. But what is an advantage anyway? That is explained here.

Forms of corruption

In this chapter, the colorful bouquet of forms of corruption is explained illustratively with the help of examples.

Recognizing signs early on

To combat corruption, it is important to recognize warning signals at an early stage. Suspicious circumstances in purchasing & sales are shown here.

Countermeasures

Fighting corruption is not just the responsibility of individuals. In this course chapter, important measures at different levels are presented.
