(Para. 1),Detailed Study of Text,单词学习,课文分析,课文学习,随 笔,Bribery and Business Ethics,Para. 1 Students taking business courses are sometimes a little surprised to find that classes on business ethics have been included in their schedule.

Example? A: He may choose to stand by his principles, but, in practice, he usually prefers to bribe the official in charge.,句型,Detailed Study of Text,单词学习,课文分析,课文学习,随 笔,Para. 2 Suppose that during a negotiation with some government officials, the Minister of Trade makes it clear to you that if you offer him a substantial bribe, you will find it much easier to get an import license for your goods, and you are also likely to avoid “procedural delays”, as he puts it. Now, the question is: Do you pay up or stand by your principles?,句型,Q3: What other questionable practices do businessmen adopt in addition to giving money?

If we didnt do it, someone else would.”,Detailed Study of Text,单词学习,课文分析,课文学习,随 笔,Para. 4a It is difficult to resist the impression that bribery and other questionable payments are on the increase.

(as shown in Para. 7),Detailed Study of Text,单词学习,课文分析,课文学习,随 笔,Para. 7a The second category covers payments made to obtain quicker official approval of some project, to speed up the wheels of government. An interesting example of this kind of payment is provided by the story of a sales manager who had been trying for some months to sell road machinery to the Minister of Works of a Caribbean country. Finally, he hit upon the answer.,句型,Detailed Study of Text,单词学习,课文分析,课文学习,随 笔,Para. 7b Discovering that the minister collected rare books, he bought a rare edition of a book, slipped $20,000 within its pages, then presented it to the minister. This man examined its contents, then said, “I understand there is a two-volume edition of this work.” The sales manager, who was quick-witted, replied, “My company cannot afford a two-volume edition, sir, but we could offer you a copy with a preface!” A short time later, the deal was approved.,Q3 What does the third category of bribery involve?
