Abstract title: Information Technology and the management of corruption
Author:

Richard Heeks

Issue: Volume 9, Numbers 1+2 (double issue) 1999

The author examines the perception that information technology (IT) can be used to stamp out corruption in organisations. Using examples of corrupt practices, he argues that, invariably, development managers should consider the underlying organisational and environmental causes of corruption rather than seeing the introduction of IT systems as a solution in itself.

This article also appears in the Development in Practice Reader Development and Management.
