Castle Rock, CO - November 2, 2005 - Author and businessman Rich Gottbreht explores the dysfunction and corruption in third world countries then explains how to avoid, manage and control their business impacts in his newly released book, Corruption Arts in Third World International Business: Traps, Swizzles, and Swindles Used by the Master Players.

When Gottbreht went to Indonesia to help lead a joint venture launched by his U.S. based home company, the Indonesian government and two domestic companies in the late 1990s, he immediately learned his first lesson in third world business: they play by completely different rules. Corruption Arts in Third World International Business exposes the corruption practices, dirty political tricks, and loose government rules that fleeced Gottbreht's home company out of $50 million and continues to rob Indonesia of any chances of healthy development.

Corruption Arts in Third World International Business describes the bribes, kickbacks, facilitation payments that are prevalent in Indonesia and why, even in our own country, we should be vigilant watchdogs of large and multinational companies when national disasters like Hurricane Katrina become a magnet for corruption just like the 2004 tsunami aid to South Asia.

Gottbreht quantifies and discusses the magnitude of worldwide corruption and concludes that the U.S. cannot begin to fix massive corruption problems in other countries and therefore must grow and protect its own economy while giving incentives to U.S. companies for bringing risky outsourced operations back home.  Gottbreht then outlines ideas on how to decrease the U.S.'s reliance on outsourcing to corrupt countries.  Gottbreht provides over 40 illustrations to clarify his more complex points.

If you are an American businessperson, educator, or student interested in doing business in or with third world countries, Corruption Arts in Third World International Business is an indispensable insider's guide that allows you to learn from Gottbreht's and his home company's mistakes instead of your own.

Corruption Arts in Third World International Business is available through www.globaleyz.com and www.amazon.com.
