Abstract
Strategic management is the identification and description of the strategies that managers implement in order to achieve their organizational long-term goals via better performance and gaining competitive advantage in the process. Corruption, on the other hand, is known as dishonest or fraudulent conduct by the people/managers in power. In this sense, it becomes inevitable in organizations, where there is always a conflict of interests, not to experience corruption behavior. At this point, preventing and coping with corruption constitutes importance.

In addition, the chapter also consists of some international corruption scandal examples.
