Abstract

The objective of this paper is to find out whether corrupt behavior can affect the foreign investment flow to Indonesia. Corrupt behavior in Indonesia is proxyed using Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) issued by Transparency International institution. This study was conducted empirically through a single model built using a gravity model with panel data regression. The variables included in the model are capital flows, bilateral factor, economic size of home country, economic size of host country, barrier of investment, and global factors. The bilateral factor is reviewed using the competition of foreign investment flow to China. The investment constraint, in the form of corruption, is reviewed using the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). The result of the research shows that foreign investors are very concerned about corruption in Indonesia which is considered as a barrier and obstacle in investment. The high level of corruption has resulted in a decrease in the flow of foreign direct investment into Indonesia. This should be cautioned because corruption in Indonesia has had a negative effect on the investment climate in Indonesia.

Abstract

Corruption has damaged the life of nation and state. The government has established an agency called Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Various efforts have been made by KPK, in order to eradicate and prevent corruption. The efforts that can be filed to prevent corruption are by raising and socializing the noble values of local wisdom. In Riau, this noble value is known as “Tunjuk Ajar Melayu” (TAM). TAM is an oral literature of Malay, inherited from generation to generation as poetry, poem, gurindam, proverb, seloka, fairy tale, legend or folklore which contain the teaching of virtue for the sake of the value of human dignity and glory. The oral literature was recorded by Tenas Effendy, entitled «Tunjuk Ajar Melayu». In the book, it is mentioned the so called Malay principle «Sifat Dua Puluh Lima». These values are reinforced by the twenty-five «Pantangan anak Melayu». In one hand, the socialization of TAM can be done through formal education such as schools from primary level to university, government and private agencies. On the other hand, the non formal way as courses, training and upgrading would be helpful to reach the whole community. At the end, indicating and teaching TAM is expected to make the noble values of local wisdom come through into the hearts of Malay youth and to the people of Bumi Lancang Kuning, therefore the corruption will be prevented effectively, since it is considered as taboo and prohibition of Malay youth.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to emphasize that the goal of Criminal Justice System in terms of fraud and other corrupt practices by company (such as bribery), one of the way is to avoid far-reaching consequences, including debarment of the company from the local government. Notwithstanding its immensity, corruption can cause damage to the reputation of the business and jeopardize its profitability. To prevent this from happening, this study will examine the possibility for companies to conduct a self-report mechanism in relation to fraudulent act of bribery, as a way to change company’s leadership culture. By conducting self-report mechanism (as have been implemented in U.S. through the FCPA and U.K. through the UK Bribery act), companies are expected to whistleblow its own wrongful acts to relevant authority, so that their employees are no longer committing fraud, knowing that the company will report them. While on the other hand, the company will gain benefit (such as monetary recoveries, leniency) in conditions that will be explained further in this paper.

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis research aims to revisit the relationship between two cultural dimensions index (masculinity and power distance) and corruption – as indicated in the Corruption Perception Index (CPI). Two hypotheses were proposed: An increase in the masculinity index increases corruption and an increase in the power distance index increases corruption. Using the latest CPI data from 2012 to 2016 of 67 countries, this research found that the increase in masculinity does not significantly increase corruption. Meanwhile, it is noticed that the increase in power distance significantly increases corruption. Better understanding on such relationship will provide valuable input on how cultural approach is important to fine tune the design of corruption eradication strategy, particularly in Indonesia.At the end, proper strategy will contribute the improvement of Indonesia’s CPI, which will eventually improving Indonesia’s business environment for the investo
