Abstract
This chapter begins with an understanding of the concept of corruption, showing categories, typology, and characteristics of corrupt actions. Subsequently, the issue is reviewed through looking at corruption in organizations, referring to the relationship that exists between organizational culture and corruption. Later on, the impact of corrupt actions at different levels is presented and exemplified with some real cases that allow a better understanding of the subject. Some suitable concrete strategies and actions are submitted to promote an anti-corruption culture in organizations, beginning with a process of business self-diagnosis of its current situation regarding corruption and possible risks through the participation of interest groups. The importance of applying the collective action methodology in which all the actors participate is highlighted, thus there will be different views to analyze risks that could exist of corruption and proposing actions that mitigate corruption.
