我國學術單位對貪污賄賂等犯罪議題有相關研究,而臺商商業賄賂之行為乏人研討,本研究目的主要在於瞭解臺商在中國大陸投資曾被索賄、賄賂過程及商業賄賂現況與成因。 本研究使用深度訪談法,訪問10位在中國大陸地區投資經營2年以上之臺灣廠商負責人或重要幹部及1位臺商企業協會重要幹部。研究結果發現,臺商與中國大陸行政部門接觸的過程,基本上較少在辦理註冊登記時遭到刁難,當開始投入資金生產製造,取得訂單銷售時,行政部門官員才會找上門,有的故意讓公文旅行時間拉長,製造索(收)賄的機會,這是因為法規制度尚未完善,行政部門干預經濟所致。再者,商業賄賂行為常發生的類型,包括餽贈禮品、招待用餐、投其所好、支付回扣等,主要的成因有互利共贏、願打願挨、以小博大及入鄉隨俗等,這些都是臺商為尋求商機與官員達成的默契,在商業賄賂不容易被發覺的情況下,演變成為行業內心照不宣的潛規則。 本研究最後提出當臺商遭遇商業問題或糾紛時,應尋求合法管道,對於臺商個人、中國大陸及兩岸機制方面之參考建議,期待能循正當的途逕,得到有效的處理。
The present study aims to analyze the current situation and process of blackmail, corruption and bribery for Taiwanese businessmen in Mainland China. By using in-depth interview, the study has collected valuable information of 10 Taiwanese businessmen who has been working at least two years in China. Most of interviewees held important positions in their companies such as CEO, supervisor, board member as well as the director of Taiwanese businessman enterprise association. The results revealed that Taiwanese businessmen were less blackmailed by Chinese officials at the beginning when they were establishing and registering the company. However, when businessmen started to invest or make profits, government official then asked for illegitimate money by threatening to postpone the application or to complicate the order permission. This can be attributed by defective regulatory system. Moreover, to procure more business and prevent obstacles from government official, some Taiwanese businessmen were willing to give the bribery. This indeed has become the “unspoken rule” between Taiwanese businessman and Chinese government official. The research suggested that Taiwanese businessman should seek for due process and take appropriate measures when facing commercial problems or disputes.
