Expounding the Structure of Slyer Ways of Tunneling in Pakistan
This study is aimed to expound the structure of slyer ways of tunneling in Pakistan. It also analyzes relationships among these factors. Design of study encompasses on review of contemporary literature, survey for collection of data, analysis, and modeling. Review of literature is used to prepare a list of ways of tunneling, ISM is affianced for modeling contextual relationships, and MICMAC for classification of factors. The results of the literature show that there are sixteen slyer ways of tunneling. The result of ISM reveals that there is an underlying structure having three levels. The third level is occupied by “purchasing un-necessary items” and “exchanging the assets at relatively lesser value” hence are the most critical factors. Findings of MICMAC affirm the result of ISM and pinpoint that the aforementioned factors have high driving power and are key factors. Tunneling is a sensitive topic of corporate governance and conducting research on this topic is worthwhile for all stakeholders.
