Abstract

We examine how corporate bribery is impacted by cultural distance between multinational enterprises (MNEs) home and host countries, and organizational distance to core values between MNE entry modes and MNE headquarters. Tension between external and internal legitimacy helps to explain why cultural and organizational distances will affect MNE bribery. The empirical analysis used data from cross-border transactions by MNEs that were sanctioned by US regulatory officials between 1978 and 2011. We find statistical support for all hypotheses capturing main and moderating effects and suggest that MNEs may be seriously risking their legitimacies from transactions in corruption-prone host countries.

Adapted from Shearman & Sterling’s FCPA Digest (2015). Although Wyeth Pharmaceuticals was included in Shearman & Sterling’s FCPA Digest as an ongoing FCPA investigation, it was excluded from the sample because of the inability to find any publicly disclosed information, including firm disclosures that it was subject to an FCPA investigation.
