How do big corporations bribe officials?
I think the other answers to the question here are excellent. I would only add to the answers through an attempt to generalize and simplify the methods. In what follows, the briber is the party paying the bribe and the bribe target is the party receiving the bribe. Effective bribery methods generally involve the following elements:
(1) Understand legal grey areas
Determine what the law allows and does not allow. Typically, anti-bribery laws are written in a way so that there are grey areas in either what is allowed or not allowed.
I believe you are allowed to write off bribes in accounting in areas like Africa.
In America you hire lobbyists
They hire an "essential" consultant to assist in whatever project/deal they are working on, usually some relationship of the official.
