HBS выпустил кейс про Украину. Посвящен коррупции..

HBS Case Commentary: Rafael Di Tella
As any businessperson would do in this situation, Zhuk will pay off the UTA [Ukraine Tax Authority] officials. After all, he wouldn't be breaking the law if he did so. The situation clearly suggests that Zhuk is a victim of extortion. According to most nations' laws, succumbing to extortion isn't a crime. So Zhuk will pay off [UTA special agent] Simonenko. He will consider the bribes an additional tax he has to pay for doing business in Ukraine and carry on with his pet project. Make no mistake: That's how the situation would play out in real life. If a businessperson doesn't pay officials when he is a victim of extortion, he doesn't have the stomach to do business in developing countries.
But should Zhuk pay off the officials? That's tougher to answer. I know what Zhuk will do; I don't know what he should do, because that's a moral issue, and we don't know from the case what Zhuk's morality dictates.
