8. Procedure
Step I Pre-reading Activity
Topic-related discussion
A question will be asked: Suppose you were a businessman, what would you do if you were doing
business with a country where bribery has been a way of life? (Group work)
Background information
Chrysler Corporation used to be one of the three largest American automobile
manufacturers whose brands include both passenger and commercial vehicles such as Chrysler,
Jeep AE and Dodge.
U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) is a U.S. government agency, whose
mission is to protect investors and maintain the integrity of the securities markets. The SEC
requires public companies to disclose meaningful financial and other information to the public,
which provides a common pool of knowledge for all investors to use to judge for themselves if a
company’s securities are a good investment.
The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) was founded in 1919, whose aim is to
serve world business by promoting trade and investment, open markets for goods and services, and the free flow of capital. Individual companies, corporations, professional associations as well
as individuals can also join the ICC as individual members.
Step II. While-reading Activity
Understand the major details of the text
1) Why do students sometimes feel surprised when they find business ethics are included in
the content of their business course? (Because they don’t know how serious the problem of
bribery is.)
2) Why are practices such as paying agents and purchasers an exaggerated commission, and
offering additional discounts described as “questionable”? (Because these practices are likely to be
morally wrong and may be certain forms of bribery.)
3) For what purpose did the company offer a large sum of money in support of a U.S.
presidential candidate? (They wanted to avoid an unfavorable conclusion draw from the
investigation of their possible violation of U. S. business laws.)
4) What does “a copy with a preface” mentioned in Paragraph 7 refer to? (It refers to a rare
edition of a book with $20,000 slipped within its pages.)
5) Has the ICC finally taken action to prohibit bribery? Why or why not? (No. Because its
members have different opinions about the duties of the ICC.)
6) Can you give some examples mentioned in the text to show that “industry is caught in a
web of bribery? (Yes. More than 300 U.S. companies, for example, admitted that they had made
questionable payments.)
Understand organization of the text
1) Main idea of the text
Bribery has become a common occurrence in many countries, and the efforts are made to ban
it, but the members of the ICC have different opinions about it.
2) Text structure analysis
Part One (Para. 1-4) Bribery ─ a common occurrence in many countries
Bribery in various forms is ________________ and has become a fact of commercial life.
(on the increase)
Part Two (Para. 5-8) Three broad categories of bribes or other questionable payments
(1) Substantial payments made for political purposes or to secure _______________.
(major contracts)
(2) Payments made to obtain quicker ____________________________, to speed up the
wheels of government. (official approval of some projects)
(3) Payments made to people ___________________________________. (who help with
the passage of a business deal)
Part Three (Para. 9-11)The efforts to prohibit bribery
The ICC has set up a council to manage a code of conduct that would ban
_______________________. It is difficult to impose the law as opinions differ
