You have established all the necessary networking and you think you have a real good shot at getting this contract. Then a government official approaches you and, in so many words, requests that you provide for a “ special fee” to facilitate the bidding process…..meaning that if you pay this supposed “fee”…you stand a real good chance of beating out the competition (Costco).

Answer 1

Answer 2

Other than disregarding the restriction from the US Government, guilty pleasure in such exercises may not just stain the picture of the worldwide retail monster like Walmart in another imminent market, it might likewise strain the relations between the opponents.

The organization has following other options.

1) Negotiate with the specialists to agree to some legitimate courtesies to the government in lieu of the "expense", which are moral as well, so the infringement of standards can be forestalled.

2) Adhere to the working standards of the organization without thinking about the result of the cycle.

3) Bow to the requests of the administration official, pay the charge and guarantee the agreement.

4) Contact the higher authorities in the administration and detailing them the issue.

The best arrangement as I would see it is, where the organization ought to haggle with the administration to receive lawful and moral methods for helping out for the legislature ( like contribution limited costs for government authorities). This won't abuse any standards. Be that as it may, the organization should never settle on its hard working attitudes and worth framework, whatever be the result.
