Transnational Corruption, Banks, CrimeAbstract
Objective: To examine transnational corruption based on empirical analyzes collected from the banking sector, more specific, from one of the largest international banks, HSBC.
Method: Qualitative research, documentary type, with an analysis of reports, from the last ten years, on cases of corruption involving the largest international banks in the world. Use open coding by the thematic model.
Main results - The results pointed to trails of corruption, such as networks of actors and actors and corruption schemes.
Relevance / originality - Corruption is a current and relevant topic, however, most analyzes consider the demand side and do not offer supply equivalent to global corruption. In addition, this research addresses corruption as a transnational and not a local phenomenon.
Theoretical / methodological contributions: Necessary - This study was applied by the theoretical-methodological approach, addressing a phenomenon in an international context, whose access to data is an obstacle, as it is unlikely that schemes and operations among corrupt officials are amenable to public activity unless the cases are reported in the press or are under investigation.
Social / management contributions (optional): The research helps business managers with local and international reach, to understand more broadly the consequences of involvement in dangerous operations and connections.Downloads
