Scandinavians lowest corruption countries. Rich. Countries with highest corruption. Poor.

This Angolan project is a wonderful real life exercise. And when I write something is not what I heard from a teacher talking from a platform and me seating at a chair.
Neither I learned reading a book in a library. It is real life.

This is last project of Siemens before the merge with Nokia from low corruption country Finland.

Merged company, NSN, purged of corruption as all scandals were brought to surface during the merging process. (See posting about Siemens bribery scandal.

Rules now being enforced that no corruption is going to be tolerated. Angola is a high corrution country. To make the exercise more enlightening: Most of the people in the project come from corrupt and that do not like to abide to laws:
Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay Equador El Salvador.

Perfect lab experiment for getting insights on how law, rules, people's ability to abide to those laws and rules.

Poeple actually tend to see an advantage on the lack of enforcement of laws and rules. They see this as a good environment to make money.

I see this as detrimental to making money. And that simply because, money flows AWAY from place where dishonesty is the rule towards places where honesty is THE rule.

I have not changed my mind about my position that rule of the law is NOT -per se- the value. I am just extending that by pointing that, it is people's tolerance to breaking the law and the rules that defines the rule of the law.
It is people non-toilerance to breaking the rules that defines same.
