He had a great deal of work ahead of him, but he was sure of one Odebrecht 2014 thing: that people exist to serve their fellows. His solid upbringing imbued him with that and other principles, which would guide both his life and the AV. LUIS VIANA, 2.841 course of the Odebrecht Group.

La decisión puede ser gratificante o punitiva. Los agentes externos, al igual que las comunidades, pueden influir en cómo resultará la decisión. Este ensayo afirma que el escándalo de corrupción de Odebrecht es un ejemplo de tal situación. Junto con las decisiones internas de la compañía, la comunidad externa jugó un papel en el traslado de Odebrecht de ser un actor respetado en la industria de la construcción global a la exposición de sus prácticas inmorales. El presente estudio también demuestra los recientes intentos de injerencia política en las investigaciones de este escándalo y cómo el ex Odebrecht está tratando de reconstruirse como empresa. Palabras clave: Operación Lava-Jato, Odebrecht, Corrupción, América Latina. 1. INTRODUCCIÓN El objetivo de este ensayo es presentar el caso de corrupción de la constructora brasileña Odebrecht y analizarlo desde la perspectiva del marco que llevó a Odebrecht a actuar en uno de los mayores casos de corrupción de América Latina.
