Poslovna etika investitora

Abstract

Proučavanje stranih ulaganja i položaja stranih ulagača započinje i završava se iznalaženjem mehanizama čiji je cilj obezbeđenje što povoljnije investicione klime. Međutim, potpuno sagledavanje položaja stranih ulagača podrazumeva otkrivanje i negativnih strana njihovog delovanja u državi ulaganja. To aktuelizuje pitanje poslovne etike investitora. Iako poslovna etika nije ono čime bi se mogli pohvaliti domaći privredni subjekti, pribegavanje neetičkim metodama poslovanja od strane stranih ulagača mnogo je izraženije i štetnije po domaću privredu. Autor se najpre bavi uzrocima neetičkog poslovanja stranih ulagača, jer je njihovo otkrivanje preduslov uspešne prevencije. Nakon navođenja tipičnih slučajeva neetičkog investiranja, autor analizira američki zakon i Konvenciju o suzbijanju podmićivanja stranih državnih službenika, koji sankcionišu najrašireniji oblik neetičkog investiranja. Najzad, u zaključku navodi osnovna zapažanja o značaju poslovne etike za poslovnu strategiju stranih ulagača.

The study of foreign investments and the status of foreign investors begins and ends in finding out mechanisms that ensure that the most favourable investment climate is created. However, to obtain a complete picture of the position of foreign investors, it is necessary to find out all negative sides of their activities in the country they invest into. This is what makes the issue of investors' business ethics so topical. Although business ethics is not something that national business entities excel at, recourse to non-ethical business methods on the part of foreign investors is more pronounced and more harmful to national economy. The author first deals with causes of non-ethical business of foreign investors as their detection is a precondition for successful prevention. After mentioning typical cases of non-ethical investments, the author analyzes American Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officers in International Business Transactions. Those sources sanction the most spread form of non-ethical investments. Finally, the author cites some basic observations on the importance of business ethics for a business strategy of foreign investors.
