Well Members,
I think this is a very eye opening discussion going on here and brave are those who post in their views whatsoever.
It’s really hard to sometimes decide which road to follow. For the sake of an Organisational Objective, Yes ! we have to undress our Moral & Ethics and negotiate the bitter Truth. And at the same time we want our employees to hold Personal & Financial Integrity to the highest.
We Sow as we Reap !
Organisations Laminate bribe as ‘Entertainment Expenses’ and those who Claim in that account, no further explanations are asked. No One really care to know whether the person has really spend that much or is he just cooking up. Just Live On!
We don’t know how Much Public Money is used to fill up one’s personal Privilage.
Once while I was posted in one of my assignments, I came to meet a Local Press Reporter who wanted to be given a Parlty Sum to finance his group to & fro Expenses for attending a press Meet. Also he was demanding service for his car which had been damaged due to an accident which happened for the lack of street lights. We all knew that the Reporter had associations with a particular political party and had frequented to our office with some pretext or other before my joining. Somebody said me, if i didnot give him something, he may go forward to publish False reports that may damage the reputation of our company. But, I decided to take the matter and I literally banged him and pooh-poohed his inefficiency as a reporter, who could not campaign for better street illuminations to prevent such accidents in his own area by taking his own example through awareness in his Newspaper. The reporter never dared to enter to my office again.
The above was a case at Micro Level where we can have a comparative advantage if we put in our logic & reasoning along with Boldness & Courage. But when we are dealing with more Macro Level issues, we might not be so much effective since the bribe factor is widely conditioned into the system. Along with it is the serious problem of RED – TAPISIM which force many private companies to take short cuts to meet their competitive advantage. Many people get into this Vicious Circle without being wanted. And once started it becomes a way of life.
The Views of Ash, Ravi, Zalak were bold and based on reality. And Perticularly i liked Ms. Ash’s – Guru’s example. It’s a story of Individual Triumph over 'License Raj'.
But there is also other film to watch out – ‘Nayak’. It is also a Common Mans Triumph over ‘Bribery Raj’ but, if you have the courage…..
