Corruption in international business: A review and research agenda
2020
Abstract We systematically reviewed the literature on corruption in international business (137 articles) for the last 17 years between 1992 and 2019. Additionally, we identified seven research streams in this growing literature: (1) the legislation against corruption, (2) the determinants of corruption, (3) combating corruption, 4) the effect of corruption on firms, (5) the political environment and corruption, (6) corruption as a challenge to existing theories of management, and (7) the effect of corruption on foreign direct investment and trade. Based on this review, we recommend that strong international laws are needed to minimize the negative impact of corruption on international busi…

2020
Purpose This study aims to critically analyse the Law 9 January 2019, n. 3, on “Measures to fight crimes against the public administration and on the transparency of political parties and movements” (so-called bribe-destroyer law).

La corruzione privata e la riforma dell'art. 2635 c.c.
2013
L'articolo esplora il trattamento penale dei fatti di corruzione privata, anche alla luce della recente legge n. 190/2012. Due le tesi principali sostenute: 1) contrariamente a quel che si crede, nel nostro ordinamento esiste già (ed esisteva anche prima del 2012) una incriminazione - sia pur non diretta - dei fatti di corruzione privata; 2) la riforma del 2012 cambia l'offensita' tipica dei reati di cui all'art. 2635 c.c., affiancando alla tutela del patrimonio, una tutela della concorrenza quale interesse dei consumatori. The paper explores the Italian discipline on private bribery, which has recently undergone significant reform through law no. 190/2012.
A dynamic simulation approach to frame drivers and implications of corruption practices on firm performance
2014
Corruption is a multifaceted socio-economic phenomenon widely spread - although with different intensity - all around the world. Many studies on corruption have been conducted at a country-level, but relatively little effort has been placed in evaluating its implications, in terms of both financial and competitive performance, at a firm-level. Therefore, this paper aims at exploring the causal relationships underlying the effect of corruption on firm performance in order to show the different scenarios that may emerge from the combination between external (i.e., contextual conditions) and internal (i.e., organizational characteristics) forces that drive corruption. To this end, we adopt a D…
