Corruption management

Corruption management

It is very interesting to analyze the 2004 survey conducted by
Transparency International Indonesia of governmental institutions
in 21 cities in Indonesian. More details of the survey should be
published to let the public know more about corruption in
Indonesia.

Many theories, hypotheses, assumptions and aspects can be
derived and developed about corruption. As one of the leading
countries in terms of corruption, with a numbers of well-educated
scholars from various universities who no doubt have experience
with corruption, Indonesia could create a new management subject
called Corruption Management.

It goes without saying that a lot of students, both
Indonesians and foreigners, would be eager to study this new kind
of management. The history of corruption, various forms and
models, tricks to escape punishment, the incidence of corrupt
interactions, failures and successes in fighting corruption, with
interesting case studies, could all be studied.

As a new management subject and with so many people involved,
there would be a huge number of ideas and solutions, from simple
and common ones to unique, crazy, exceptional, brilliant and
complicated answers, on how to solve the growing, never-ending
problem of corruption in Indonesia.

I am sure most Indonesians would like to see the number of
corruption cases reduced in the coming years, and dream of
enjoying clean and good governance.
