BP needs to secure land leases and mineral rights in Sudan in order to harvest significant and readily accessible oil reserves. Your success in securing the land and mineral rights will accomplish one of the top corporate objectives and do much to advance your career. From your office in South Africa, you are competing against aggressive Chinese corporate advances in Sudan. You have observed that most Sudanese government contracts are going to Chinese companies. As you become acquainted with Sudanese government operations, it becomes clear that business is done differently than in other countries. The government representative explains the customary practice to provide “service payments" to government administrative officials in order to complete and expedite necessary business services and contracts. Question: Due to the continued and timely service payments, BP's operations have been kept competitive and on schedule—something that has received praise from corporate headquarters. You feel uneasy about these payments but feel you are losing contracts to BP's major competitors. How do you address this, and potential future issues?
