  Local Ethics

  I would recommend reading Jon M. Huntsman's book, "Winners Never Cheat: Everyday Values We Learned as Children (But May Have Forgotten). While doing business in a foreign country he was given the exact same ultimatum as discussed in this blog. He decided against doing business in this manner and chose to pull his operations from the location.
  
  Situational ethics and moral relativism have no place in business. Thank God for leaders like Jon who choose principled beliefs over rationalizing a lack of ethics.

  AWB- Australian Wheat board paid $US300 million? in "trucking fees" to ship wheat to Iraq. Their defence we did it because if we did not the US would. "Bofers" the impecable Swedish arms manufacturer got caught giving kick backs to Indian contacts for military contracts. Ethics are only yours, you alone are responsible for your actions. Good cultural manners must not be confused with ethics. Bribery is not ethical or good manners in any country I know of. It is individuals interpreting good manners to meet thir unethical ends.
