Corruption?

From Thailand, Steve Torok writes:"Although there is a lot of noise about corruption, this area has not been thought through properly. One man's management by incentives is another man's corruption. Cooperative games can be shown to lead to better outcomes than competitive ones -- provided only mutual jealousy does not kill them before they start, and provided they are governed by enlightened self-interest, in the sense of Adam Smith, rather than greed..".  RH:So a bribe is an incentive and a cooperative game?
