8. Procedure

Step I Pre-reading Activity

Topic-related discussion

A question will be asked: Suppose you were a businessman, what would you do if you were doing business with a country where bribery has been a way of life? (Group work)

Background information

Chrysler Corporation used to be one of the three largest American automobile manufacturers whose brands include both passenger and commercial vehicles such as Chrysler, Jeep AE and Dodge.

U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) is a U.S. government agency, whose mission is to protect investors and maintain the integrity of the securities markets. The SEC requires public companies to disclose meaningful financial and other information to the public, which provides a common pool of knowledge for all investors to use to judge for themselves if a company’s securities are a good investment.

The International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) was founded in 1919, whose aim is to serve world business by promoting trade and investment, open markets for goods and services,

and the free flow of capital. Individual companies, corporations, professional associations as well as individuals can also join the ICC as individual members.

Step II. While-reading Activity

Understand the major details of the text

1) Why do students sometimes feel surprised when they find business ethics are included in the content of their business course? (Because they don’t know how serious the problem of bribery is.)

2) Why are practices such as paying agents and purchasers an exaggerated commission, and offering additional discounts described as “questionable”? (Because these practices are likely to be morally wrong and may be certain forms of bribery.)

3) For what purpose did the company offer a large sum of money in support of a U.S. presidential candidate? (They wanted to avoid an unfavorable conclusion draw from the investigation of their possible violation of U. S. business laws.)

4) What does “a copy with a preface” mentioned in Paragraph 7 refer to? (It refers to a rare edition of a book with $20,000 slipped within its pages.)

5) Has the ICC finally taken action to prohibit bribery? Why or why not? (No. Because its members have different opinions about the duties of the ICC.)

6) Can you give some examples mentioned in the text to show that “industry is caught in a web of bribery? (Yes. More than 300 U.S. companies, for example, admitted that they had made questionable payments.)

Understand organization of the text

1) Main idea of the text

Bribery has become a common occurrence in many countries, and the efforts are made to ban it, but the members of the ICC have different opinions about it.

Part Three (Para. 9-11)The efforts to prohibit bribery

_______________________. It is difficult to impose the law as opinions differ

3.Further discussion: In your opinion, what should be done to prevent bribery from increasing in

modern society?

1. Reading skills:

1.1 Reading between the lines

Reading between the lines means drawin g or making inferences about the author’s ideas from what is written and from what is not written. In drawing inferences we use the exact information or hints in our reading to reach information logically and to develop our understanding of the reading passage.

1.2 Examples

1) Students taking business courses are sometimes a little surprised to find that classes on business ethics have been included in their schedule. They often do not realize that bribery in various forms is on the increase in many countries and, in some, has been a way of life for centuries.

Question: What can account for the students’ surprise when finding that classes on business ethics have been included in their schedule?

Possible answer: The students are innocent and inexperienced and they don’t expect bribery to be common in business.

2) In a well-know British newspaper, a writer argued recently that “industry is caught in a web of bribery” and that everyone is “on the take”. This is probably an exaggeration. However, today’s businessman, selling in overseas markets, will frequently meet situations where it is difficult to square his business interests with his moral conscience.

Question: What does “business interests” imply?

Possible answer: “Business interests” here implies ma king profits.
