After earning a graduate degree in Engineering Management, Mazin began working for PDO International. This is a company based in the Oman, which offers engineering, design, and construction services to countries all over the world.Mazin’s work is focused on international development; his first assignment is to lead a team to develop a bid for a highway construction project in East Africa. After the engineering proposal is submitted, Mazin is proud of the work his team has accomplished and promises his manager he will do everything possible to make sure that PDO receives the contract.PDO’s bid is well-received, and Mazin and his team are flown to East Africa to finish negotiations. Mazin is thrilled when his company receives the bid; the only stipulation is that they build their construction headquarters in a specific region in the country. Mazin then begins scouting the region for a location to build their headquarters.In order to obtain building permits in the region, Mazin has to negotiate with the local government. As he begins negotiations, he realizes that bribery is both a common and expected practice. If he does not bribe the local officials, he will not be able to build PDO’s headquarters in that region and consequently will lose the contract; his first managerial project will be a failure. However, it is illegal for an Omani citizen to bribe a foreign official in order to obtain business; if he is caught for bribery, he could face jail time and his company could be fined millions of dollars.1. What should he do?
