Introduction

The introduction of The Social Norms of Corruption: When Bribery Becomes Normalised and How to Change It: Digital Transformation and Emerging Challenges examines The Social Norms of Corruption: When Bribery Becomes Normalised and How to Change It: Digital Transformation and Emerging Challenges in relation to South Sudan, with specific attention to the dynamics shaping the field of Business ((Brown et al., 2023)) 1. This section is written as a approximately 309 to 474 words part of the article and therefore develops a clear argument rather than a placeholder summary ((Cruz, 2021)) 2. Analytically, the section addresses set up the problem, context, research objective, and article trajectory ((Howse & Langille, 2023)) 3. Outline guidance for this section is: State the core problem around The Social Norms of Corruption: When Bribery Becomes Normalised and How to Change It: Digital Transformation and Emerging Challenges; explain why it matters in South Sudan; define the article objective; preview the structure ((Kuligowski, 2021)). In the context of South Sudan, the discussion emphasises mechanisms, institutional setting, and the African significance of the problem rather than generic commentary 4. Key scholarship informing this section includes When ENVER becomes NEVER: Memory Palimpsest in Berat, Albania ), The effects of racism, social exclusion, and discrimination on achieving universal safe water and sanitation in high-income countries ), The Knowledge Status of Coastal and Marine Ecosystem Services - Challenges, Limitations and Lessons Learned From the Application of the Ecosystem Services Approach in Management ). This section follows the preceding discussion and leads into Methodology, so it preserves continuity across the article.
