5 C's in Developing Countries: Add Corruption as 6th C?
In terms of relationship marketing, the 5 Cs come in very handy. It has been used and implemented in various successful businesses all across the world.
However when we take account of developing economies, another C comes into picture which is corruption as the people sitting on the other side of the desk require bribes.
Do you think it is a proper strategy - in order to overcome such difficulties - to take this C into consideration as well?

5 C's in Developing Countries
An interesting question. I would say that (moral judgments and prejudices aside) it is vitally important to be pragmatic and acknowledge the context within which one is managing. So on that basis it might be wise to unofficially add the 6th C. Perhaps not ideal but in truth the 6th C exists in the UK as well. Yes, governance is (generally) very good but that only leads to more sophisticated forms of corruption.
