“…Por otra parte, y en lo que respecta espefíficamente a las causas de la corrupción en organizaciones empresariales, se ha evidenciado que estas responden a un número amplio de factores situacionales e individuales que confluyen entre sí (Rabl & Kühlmann, 2009), donde destaca la ambición de sus integrantes por alcanzar los objetivos corporativos en ambientes organizacionales que pueden terminar fomentando la corrupción (Osuagwu, 2012;Gottschalk, 2022), ya sea a través de entornos donde se terminan aprendiendo tales comportamientos o a través de culturas organizacionales que lo promueven o justifican (Simpson & Piquero, 2002). Especialmente relevantes son las teorías que se concentran en los procesos de racionalización o "neutralización" del comportamiento delictivo por parte de los integrantes de una organización para justificar el comportamiento corrupto, lo que explicaría, en parte, el hecho de que sujetos que no delinquirían en otros contextos, sí estén dispuestos a hacerlo cuando se trata de obtener los objetivos de la organización a la que pertenece (Rabl & Kühlmann, 2009).…”

The purpose of this research is to analyze corporate bribery in international business through a case study, in particular, a series of enforcement actions carried out in compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of the United States between 2011 and 2022. For this purpose, an exploratory research approach was followed, focused on answering the following questions: What motivates the offering of bribes around obtaining and maintaining business in international business? What relevant distinctions can be made to better understand this phenomenon? Based on the results of the case studies, a series of categories are proposed, the analysis of which may help to promote the private sector's capacity to prevent this illicit activity by facilitating the identification of risky activities or processes and possible mechanisms for their control.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and white-collar crime are two topics that have gained increasing attention in recent years. CSR refers to a company's obligation to conduct business in an ethical and socially responsible manner. White-collar crime involves illegal activities committed by individuals in positions of power and authority within organizations. The relationship between CSR and white-collar crime is complex. Companies that prioritize CSR may still be vulnerable to white-collar crime. This is because white-collar crime often involves individuals who abuse their positions of power for personal gain, regardless of a company's ethical standards. Companies may prioritize CSR for strategic reasons, such as improving their reputation and avoiding legal sanctions, rather than out of a genuine commitment to social responsibility. Despite these obstacles, there is a growing understanding of the significance of addressing white- collar crime as part of CSR. This involves initiatives to promote organizational openness and accountability, as well as increased scrutiny of individuals in positions of authority. Some argues that CSR can help prevent white-collar crime by fostering an organizational culture of ethical behavior and accountability. The relationship between CSR and white-collar crime is an important area of inquiry for both academics and practitioners. With a better understanding of how these two concepts intersect, we can work towards creating more socially responsible and ethical organizations.

“…According to the concepts of neutralization theory, they claim their actions to be moral and explanatory in a specific circumstance (Benson and Harbinson, 2020). White collar criminals defend their unexpected behaviors with the help of denials and neutralizations (Gottschalk, 2019a(Gottschalk, , 2019b. These specific statements are called "accounts" (Scott and Lyman, 1968).…”
