“…More specifically, this combination can enhance public governance by ‘increasing public access to information, empowering civil society to oversee the state, enabling citizens to track government decisions and actions of public employees, and substantially reducing the costs of transparency efforts’ (Nam, 2018, p. 275). As such, e‐government, or the use of information and communication technologies to enhance government openness (Hameduddin, Fernandez, & Demircioglu, 2020) and transparency, is expected to play a substantial role in tackling corruption (Saleem, Wen, & Khan, 2019). In other words, insofar as public sector innovation is understood as ‘the implementation of a product, process, practice, technology, or service that is new to the adopting organization’ (Wegrich, 2019, p. 12; see also Osborne & Brown, 2005), what we see here is the epitome of public sector innovation endeavouring to combat corruption.…”

Both China and India are adopting information and communication technologies to facilitate openness and transparency in their governments, and hence reduce corruption. Distinctive from their traditional anticorruption approaches, is the innovative e‐government approach an effective solution to corruption in these two large developing countries? This paper addresses the question through comparative in‐depth interviews with 44 mid‐ or senior‐level officials in the public sector in these two countries. The first study of its kind, our research shows that civil servants in both countries overall think positively about transparency and technology in reducing corruption. However, to what extent these innovative measures will be effective is conditional on various factors, such as political willingness, income inequality, and infrastructure readiness. What is worth noting is that the Chinese respondents were more positive regarding the role of transparency, whereas the Indian respondents were more positive about the role of technology, which may reflect the different facilitators of corruption and the constraints of anticorruption in China and India.

“…In studies that analyse anti‐corruption policies and technologies, the adoption of e‐government and associated technologies are determining factors of effective anti‐corruption strategies (Everett et al, 2007; Neupane et al, 2014; Sommersguter‐Reichmann et al, 2018; Zhang & Zhang, 2009). In particular, some innovative technologies support the development of policies, internal control processes and internal and external reporting of crimes to prevent corruption and generate an index of transparency, trust, efficiency, reduced red tape and real‐time reporting (Adam & Fazekas, 2021; Chege & Wang, 2020; Saleem et al, 2020). E‐procurement, e‐service tax, forensic tools, mobile applications, big data mining control and multiagency collaboration are among the automation technologies (Chege & Wang, 2020).…”

Corruption is one of the main variables to be considered in corporate social responsibility (CSR) to guarantee the well‐being of society in the long term. Information technology (IT) is able to reduce this phenomenon of corruption. However, no practical studies highlight the real effect on health organisations. This study ascertains the impact of a pilot project to prevent corruption and the introduction of new dedicated technologies in the healthcare organisation. It uses the association of institutional theory, information and communications technology (ICT), and new technologies to cover the gap and highlight the effect of an anti‐corruption pilot project of International Transparency Italia in the healthcare sector. A longitudinal approach‐based interventionist approach, coding of semi‐structured open interviews and corporate anti‐corruption plans using AltasIT from the 13 Health Organisations that joined the pilot project over a long term reveals that a positive effect spreads by mimetic approach within organisations. The study has detected open‐access databases, changes in personnel and procurement management approach, information dissemination, citizen involvement and whistleblowing support change through technologies. More specifically, it examines the evolution of the anti‐corruption system and the stakeholders' perceptions in healthcare organisations as a new form of social responsibility. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the only one that applies this perspective to the analysis of the anti‐corruption process through CSR currently underway in healthcare institutions worldwide.
