“…Moreover, more experienced workers tend to pass on their corrupt practices to newcomers, since participating in corruption is a "multigenerational syndrome" [12, p. 381]. Such punishment is not only restricted to individual resisters, but any company within the industry that attempts to [14]. In other words, it is easier to "follow the pack", than take a stand against corruption, which would result in losses to business and can jeopardize economic survival, especially for small and medium sized firms [15, pp.…”

“…Те, кто сообщает о случаях коррупции, могут подвергнуться всеобщему осуждению. Другими словами, те, кто не желает мириться [14]. Другими словами, легче «делать как все», чем противостоять коррупции, так как последнее грозит убытками и угрозой экономическому выживанию, осо-бенно для малого и среднего бизнеса [15, pp.…”

Results: the work presents the basic models of corruption counteraction in the modern society. The phenomenon of corruption is frequently discussed and debated in a variety of contexts. Corruption is often difficult to identify, as it occurs in secret, away from the public eye and records. Moreover, anti-corruption measures repeatedly fail, in part because corruption is a multifaceted social phenomenon that penetrates horizontally and vertically through many areas of society. Despite a high degree of informality within many industries and the prevalence of corrupt practices, most anti-corruption efforts have so far involved reforming the formal legal rules. However, the discussion of formal rules and institutions cannot be neatly divorced from the examination of informal norms and vice versa. These two spheres of norms and rules operate side by side, each dependent on the other. Hence, any conversation about reform has to include discussions of both formal and informal rules and institutions and the intersection between the two. It is also crucial to examine the fora where informal rules and norms are practiced, enforced and replicated. Part of this examination revolves around so-called organizational or corporate culture. In order to start overcoming the formal laws vs. informal rules divide, government regulators have to work with industry professionals, labour groups and consumers when designing various industry and health and safety regulations. This partnership, if it were to be a true one, would improve the likelihood of compliance and reduce opportunities for corrupt practices. Ultimately, any meaningful anti-corruption reform will have to address not only the intertwined nature of formal and informal rules and norms prevalent in society, but also the common lack of anti-corruption ethos prevalent among all societal actors. Scientific novelty: main models of corruption counteraction are described on the basis of the analysis of the available literature sources; measures for optimal corruption counteraction are proposed. Practical significance: conclusions and provisions of the article can be used in scientific, law-making and law-enforcement activities, in the educational process of higher educational establishments.

“…Il va ainsi assumer son choix et prétendre avoir agi en vertu des intérêts prédominants des parties prenantes, y compris l'entreprise, les employés, le public ou même le système économique (Stadler et Benson, 2012). L'illégalité est donc acceptée car elle semble utile, sinon nécessaire, afin que l'intérêt général soit sauvegardé (Klinkhammer, 2013). La logique vise à montrer que la conduite qui s'est avérée illégale était motivée par des intérêts plus vitaux et non pas par des gains personnels ou frauduleux.…”

La criminalité environnementale est-elle neutralisable ? Une analyse appliquée au cas Trafigura/Probo-Koala

Cet article a pour objectif de vérifier si les crimes environnementaux peuvent faire l’objet d’une neutralisation à l’instar des crimes en col blanc. En effet, depuis quelques années, une littérature scientifique abondante a relevé l’emploi d’excuses, de justifications ou d’un langage banalisant la gravité des comportements déviants par les personnes physiques ou morales impliquées dans la criminalité économique. Étant donné que la criminalité en col blanc est généralement non violente, la question est alors de savoir si les crimes environnementaux commis avec violence peuvent faire l’objet de discours de neutralisation. L’article est basé sur l’analyse des communiqués et discours produits par l’entreprise Trafigura après le déversement des déchets toxiques à Abidjan (Côte d’Ivoire) ayant fait plus de dix morts et des milliers de blessés. Le constat qui est fait est que la criminalité environnementale, bien que pouvant présenter des caractéristiques qui la rapprochent des crimes violents, fait appel à presque les mêmes techniques de neutralisation que la criminalité en col blanc. En définitive, il est possible de conclure que malgré sa violence, la criminalité environnementale est essentiellement considérée par les délinquants comme une criminalité économique. Bien évidemment, cette ressemblance n’empêche pas les entreprises de contextualiser leurs manoeuvres de neutralisation en tenant compte de l’environnement social, économique et politique dans lequel survient la criminalité environnementale.

“…In his work, Klinkhammer underlined the organizational development perspective in the transition process from an old to a new order, linking the concept of organizational deviance to corrupt systems (Klinkhammer 2013). Using this organizational perspective, the present paper addresses the research gap between criminological-and regulatory-based concepts used by the World Bank, and other supervisory bodies, to detect and prevent corrupt behavior.…”

“…Luhmann's early work (Luhmann 1964) about the operation and consequences of formal organizations merged into the concept of organizational deviance (Klinkhammer 2013;Pohlmann 2008 for the corporate sector; and Ashforth and Anand 2003;Ashford et al 2008 andPinto et al 2008 on the concept). These authors provide a new, reframing systemic concept regarding morality and organizational deviance which can be applied to Triple Helix constellations.…”

The transfer of corruptive routines from old industrial regions to innovation clusters: a blind spot in innovation studies

How innovation programs fail and innovation networks deviate from legal paths is a problem not yet fully understood. The complex interdependence between blockages of innovation and organizational corruption is a novel field of research in innovation studies. Equally, traditional approaches to explain opportunity-driven criminal behavior of individuals fail to explicate organizationally driven routines, and the rise of corruption despite anti-corruption campaigns remains a problem which is still unaddressed. This results in a mismatch with the increasing importance of addressing the issue of corruption. To contribute towards closing this gap, we examine, using the sociological concept of organizational deviance, the phenomenon of corruption in innovation clusters. A recent wave of corruption cases in China confirms the need for research in this area in relation to organizational role models for the transformation of mature industries and lagging regions. We discuss the potential danger of a transfer to Triple Helix-based constellations in innovation of routines found in corrupt systems that are impeding foreign direct investments and effective regional growth. The findings are based on a secondary analysis of the transformation of the Chinese coal-mining sector, a sector in which there is strong evidence of corrupt behavior and which is also a key target for politically induced transformation and modernization. The study demonstrates the importance of a consideration of organizational development in Triple Helix constellations and supports arguments in favor of good cluster governance in Triple Helix-based regional innovation systems.
