Question

A manager from a developing country is overseeing
a multinational’s operations in a country
where drug trafficking and lawlessness are rife.
One day, a representative of a local “big man”
approaches the manager and asks for a “donation”
to help the big man provide housing for the
poor. The representative tells the manager that in
return for the donation, the big man will make
sure that the manager has a productive stay in his
country. No threats are made, but the manager is
well aware that the big man heads a criminal organization
that is engaged in drug trafficking. He
also knows that the big man does indeed help the
poor in the rundown neighborhood of the city
where he was born. What should the manager do?

Explanation / Answer

In my opinion the manager should pay the donation to the big man. The donation should be made in the form of check or bank transfer to the charity run by the big man. The donantion should not be made in the form of cash as it will not help in maintaining record regarding the donation being made. The donation made can later help in claiming tax deduction for the organization.
