The nature of corruption in international business is briefly considered and several types of bribes are distinguished. Two managerial decision‐models are then proposed, in order to assist international managers faced with corruption‐related situations. The first model is based upon an ethical analysis and it conditionally endorses some types of facilitating‐payment. The second is based upon a psychological analysis and it involves identification and classification of the generic consequences of bribe payments. The two models are intended to form part of a wider and multifaceted approach to reducing corruption.
