Corruption and FDI: the role of social brokers

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › Article

Abstract

To reduce engagement in corruption, firms are increasingly accountable for the behavior of their intermediaries. However, current anti-corruption efforts have not included those agents that arrange the initial meetings between foreign MNEs and potential local partners. We call these initial intermediaries “social brokers.” In our Perspective piece we argue that "social brokers” should be included in anti-corruption efforts.
