(2018). Modern technologies of detection and prevention of corruption in emerging information society. Problems and Perspectives in Management, 16(1), 58-67. doi:10.21511/ppm.16(1) AbstractWith the development of the information society, there has been rapidly growing number of international research on the role of various (information, innovation, intelligent) technologies as a catalyst to fight corruption. As you know, the problems posed by corruption are economic, social and political consequences. In recent years economists and various researchers have shown increasing interest in studying the phenomenon of corruption. Many researchers in the field of studying corruption phenomenon are of theoretical nature, which studied different behaviors without having developed effective methods and technologies to identify and prevent corruption in the various spheres of government. In this regard, there is a need to study the world experience of application of technologies in the prevention of corruption and anticorruption platform in Ukraine. This will allow to adapt them to positive experience in the implementation of mechanisms to identify and prevent corruption in Ukraine. The authors believe that to obtain a more accurate picture of the corruption situations that provide characteristics and its quantitative description is possible only by means of modelling the corruption phenomenon. In this regard, the analysis of theoretical models of corruption was made: the modelling made by the mathematical notation of the models and conclusions on the effectiveness of their application in management. Using simulation, the authors came to the conclusion that the detection and prevention of corruption should be carried out with the use of technologies and the system approach: from the study of statistics and use of anti-corruption platforms, public registers and databases to logical and probabilistic (LP) risk models of corruption.

Mathematical Modelling and Analysis of Corruption Dynamics with Control Measures in Tanzania

“…Corruption involves bribes, illegal gratitude, conflict of interests, embezzlement of public funds and economic extortion [1,2]. Corruption can affect small group of people (petty corruption) or affect part or the entire government (grand corruption), individuals may be exposed to corruption slowly and steadily, as a result they turn out to be most corrupt [3,4]. Corruption is considered as one of the Intimidating factors for the Supportable economic growth, ethical values and justice as it destroys the society and disturb the rule of law [5,6].…”

“…Corruption is considered as one of the Intimidating factors for the Supportable economic growth, ethical values and justice as it destroys the society and disturb the rule of law [5,6]. Corruption is a major globally problem nowadays, but the highly affected countries are from low economies mostly in the southern part of Sahara desert [2,3,4,5,6,10,11]. Corruption in the society spread like diseases from one infected (corrupt) person to a susceptible individual.…”

“…Most of the studies on corruption such as [4][5][6][7] and [14,15,16,17] concluded that corruption mostly undermines the economic, political as well as social development.…”
