Some types of reciprocity are appropriate; others are not in a business relationship. This article discusses three types of -GIFTS reciprocity, bribes or kickbacks - and how to distinguish between them.
One type of trade reciprocity that would be unethical and would be an appropriate gift, which is something that is given without someone waiting for you or the company will do something for that person in return. Such a gift would generally be something small value, designed to create good feelings and show your appreciation, or could be given in a spirit of friendship and continue to have a good relationship. For example, some common gifts that would be ethical and appropriate are giving a bottle of wine, flowers, framed pictures, a small reminder of a certain activity, calendar, poster, or any number of small embossed gifts available through the advertising specialty houses you can personalize the gift with the recipient's name. As an example of this general acceptance of such small gifts, a number of these premium services are accepted in the business world. Some owners are also on the board of the local Chamber of Commerce, showing that there is broad support for such a gift prize as an accepted form of ethical practice. Some House members also offer prizes for lotteries, which are designed to obtain recognition for the company, but there are no constraints on who wins the prize. As a manager of a company, it could ethically offer such a prize.
However, it would be unethical to offer a bribe or kickback. A bribe is a gift or monetary payment of value to influence someone to do something, while a kickback is a gift or payment of the value of money paid after an exchange. The difference between giving a gift and a bribe is a bribe is large enough to influence someone to do something or not do something, while a kickback is paid after the fact, while there is no expectation by the gift. For example, a bribe may take the form of an expensive free trip to a travel destination from a hotel or resort in exchange for promoting the hotel or resort, while a rebound could provide free journey that after the deal is concluded. Often hotels or resorts offer a free trip to the journalists, meeting planners, and travel agencies to introduce their hotel or resort, but that is ethical, if there is no expectation that journalists have to write a favorable article, that the meeting planner They must book a meeting there, or that travel agents to promote their hotel or resort rather than another hotel or resort that would be a better deal. However, it is ethical if journalists, meeting planners, or travel agents make a voluntary decision after the trip about what they want to do based on what is best for their readers or customers.
The marking of the dividing line between what is ethical and unethical key difference is the size of the item offered as a gift and hope that someone acting in response to having received or receive in the future in favor of the voice employer in a way that would not otherwise take action, but to get the gift. This influence would be even more ethical violation if it leads the recipient to act in a way that is harmful to others, such as offering a lower service or a more expensive one because of receiving the gift. An even worse violation would be offering a product or service that is harmful, such as the sending of tourists on a journey from a wholesaler who inexperienced guides causes the death or injury of some participants.
