Volkswagen's Emissions Scandal: How Could It Happen?
內容大綱
The case is a detailed 'inside' account of the 'dieselgate' scandal at Volkswagen which revealed how engineers had programmed software that enabled its card to cheat emissions tests. It explores the origins of internal and external forces that propelled the company to market environmentally sustainable "clean diesel" cars while using engine management software to conceal on-the-road emissions of over 40 times the permitted levels. The scandal - one of the biggest of the decade - illustrates contributing factors that are common to many instances of organizational misconduct: obedience to authority, organizational culture, goal-setting, and corporate governance.
