In spite of the fact that many companies operating in Russia actively undertake specific actions to prevent corrupt acts, most of them do not have a comprehensive anti-corruption strategy. Their definitions of corruption are vague, their actions target marginal corrupt practices, but miss important threats, and their communications are ambiguous. In our research, however, we came across a number of organizations, both local and foreign, who have not only made corruption mitigation their strategic priority, but who have created efficient and effective anti-corruption governance systems. In combination with existing theory, these systems could serve as potent blueprints for leaders who want to take control of corruption at their firms.
