ASU Heavy Fumes Exhausting the Volkswagen Group Paper
Description
The VW “Dieselgate” case is a an interesting story of the incredible governance shortfalls of a once industry leading company that not only seriously impacted the firm’s financial health, but significantly undermined their core credibility with consumers, lawmakers and analysts worldwide.
The major themes of the case are:
- Identification of the shortfalls by leadership as well as in governance disciplines to ensure reasonably ethical behavior and performance of the firm
- Determine the cultural issues and actions that tolerated, and perhaps encouraged rule breaking and improper actions
- Outline the failure of proper governance and appropriate management oversight in an over ambitious, highly competitive management culture
- Compare and Contrast the differences between the German and Anglo-American corporate governance structures
The key questions/issues to address in your analysis would be:
- What should corporate social responsibility truly mean?
- How well did VW respond to the scandal? Were their effort(s) effective?
- How does/can an authoritarian style of leadership impact a firm negatively?
- What is the logical/best path for VW to restore customer confidence and public opinion “post crisis”?
