This week's survey
 
(These survey questions are sent in by our readers. Please spend a minute to give your answer to this week's survey as one or possibly more of your industry peers thinks this question is important and wishes to see your point of view as well as others in the industry.)

Last week's survey results...
  • If there is, I have not seen it. That may be because I work more directly with business owners rather than "middle men". The only area of "corruption" I occasionally see is tax avoidance, "potential customers" who want a cheaper price for a "cash" job. Not my sort of customer.

  • Bribery and corruption: That's what humans excel at.

  • Anybody who says there is no corruption is extremely naïve, of course there is. When big money is at stake, it is good to be a buyer for one of the large corporates. They can almost name their own price for awarding contracts. That is not to say the printing company who pays the buyer can't do the job, obviously they have to provide the service and maintain quality standards.

    That is also not to say that all buyers are guilty. There have been stories of buyers who drive fancy cars and the lease is paid by a printer.

  • Sometimes when a job goes out to tender from government or a big company, the winning printer often has to pay to win the job, in spite of the job being up for tender.

  • Yes of course, it happens at usually the top end of business, being why the smaller ones trying to get through usually don't get a look in the larger projects they are more than capable of completing... Keep tight to your systems they eventually come back... (SIGNARAMA Ballarat,  Adam Heath)

  • At the Top End of Corporate Signage yes there has always been and always will be corruption. I used ti work for Australia's biggest and most well known Neon Company and we used to "kick-back" to some Corporate clients "underlings" to not only get the contract bur also to keep it . I personally know of screen print companies giving huge "kickbacks" to brewery merchandising managers.

  • Not that I know about. (Sign Concepts SA,  Julie Rochester)

  • Bribery is rife in the New Zealand grand format print market. The two major competing outdoor media companies (Isite Media & APN outdoor), use the same supplier. Both have bypassed any tendering process for the last two years in favour of the incumbant supplier which is due only to corruption. Both of these outdoor companies attempt to punish clients who wish to place production elsewhere. The supplier both of these companies use would not be considered up to a standard required by most creative agencies.

  • No, but its spelled (spelt is wrong to) Bribery matey. cheers hehe :-) (signsonline,  Mal) 

  • Yes, 100%, in all areas of business. To get into G,Ment, you need to donate money to there party or cash back deals. Same with large companies. I have a friend who looks after many large companies ie Coles and others etc and he takes them on holidays, cash back, all sorts, its the only way to get the deal and survive he says. China buys the G,Ment so why not the people do the same,, Dying industry in Australia !! (Vision,  Andy)

  • Of course there is, that is how business is run in the Western World.

Weekly Smile:  
 

Paddy and Mick were walking along a street in London . Paddy looked in one of the shop windows and saw a sign that caught his eye. The sign read, "Suits £5.00 each, Shirts £2.00 each, trousers £2.50 per pair". 

Paddy said to his pal, "Mick look at the prices! We could buy a whole lot of dose and when we get back to Ireland we could make a fortune. 

Now when we go in you stay quiet, okay? Let me do all da talking cause if they hear our accents, they might think were thickos from Ireland and try to screw us. I'll put on my best English accent".

 "Roight y'are Paddy, I'll keep me mouth shut, so I will. You do all da business" said Mick. They go in and Paddy said in a posh voice, "Hello my good man. I'll take 50 suits at £5.00 each, 100 shirts at £2.00 each, and 50 pairs of trousers at £2.50 each. I'll back up me truck ready to load em on, so I will. "The owner of the shop said quietly, "You're from Ireland , aren't you?" "Well yes," said a surprised Paddy. 

"What gave it away?" The owner replied, "This is a dry-cleaners" !
