TI/TCD Workshops, Dublin - 23 and 24 June 2009
These workshops introduced business representatives and government officials specialising in trade and investment promotion to the free tools and strategies Irish business people and their agents can use to deal with situations where payments or bribes may be demanded.
They combined presentations with case studies and group work dilemmas. The 24 June 2009 also used video clips from the PBS series "Dirty Money". All resources and references are available for free download below.
