On April 5 and 6, the Center
for International Business at the Tuck School of Business will host its
annual Tuck International Forum. This year's forum, "Confronting
Corruption in Global Business," is co-organized by the Allwin Initiative for
Corporate Citizenship and Tuck
International Club.
The conference will begin at 8 p.m. on Thursday, April 5, in the Cohen Great
Hall at Tuck with the keynote address and Ariel Halpern Lecture on Ethics and
Social Responsibility. Frank Vogl, co-founder of Transparency International,
will speak about "The Mounting Global Challenges of Corruption and
Business Integrity."
The conference will address questions including:
- Is the definition of what is corrupt culturally specific?
- Does corruption inhibit foreign investment?
- When confronting corruption, is it possible to respond ethically and in the
financial interests of one's company?
The keynote address will be followed on Friday, April 6, by two panels, both
to be held in the Shapiro Classroom at Tuck. The first, "Corruption:
Necessary Path or Roadblock to Development?" features perspectives from
Southeast Asia, the former Soviet Union, and Africa, and includes Mallam
Ribadu, executive chairman of Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission. Martin
Dimitrov, assistant professor of government, will moderate. The second
panel, "Perspectives from the Front Lines: What Corporations Can Do to
Combat Corruption," consists of panelists from the defense, mining, and
financial services sectors, including Marisa Lago, global head of compliance,
corporate and investment banking, at Citigroup.
The conference is free and open to the public. For more information or to register visit the Web site
or call 646-9306.
