Linking the Public Benefit to the Corporation: Blockchain as a Solution for Certification in an Age of "Do-Good" Business ABSTRACT As part of its now-infamous emissions scandal, Volkswagen spent tens of millions of dollars on advertising geared toward environmentally conscious consumers. The scandal is an example of "greenwashing," which, along with the corresponding term "fairwashing," represents the information asymmetry present in product markets that involve claims of social and environmental responsibility in companies' production practices. As consumers and investors demand responsible production practices from both traditional corporations and entities organized under the newer corporateform known as public benefit corporations(PBCs), it becomes even more important to verify that those entities' supply chains are, in fact, meeting standards for the social or environmental responsibility that they purport or strive to have.

  • Lessons from the Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Scandal∗
    Willingness to Pay for Brand Reputation: Lessons from the Volkswagen Diesel Emissions Scandal∗ Xiaogang Chey Hajime Katayamaz Peter Leex December 3, 2019 Abstract In this study, we use the announcement of the Volkswagen emissions scandal on September 18, 2015, as an exogenous shock to measure consumers’ willing- ness to pay (WTP) for brand reputation. Only Volkswagen diesel cars produced in 2009-2015 were announced as emissions violators. Using eBay car auction data, we estimate the impacts of the scandal on the prices of Volkswagen emissions non- violating cars. Our difference-in-differences estimates show that final bid prices decreased by 14% and 9% in diesel and gasoline car markets, respectively, which purely reflected a decline in consumers’ WTP for Volkswagen’s brand reputation. Additionally, the difference in price-drops between the violating and non-violating diesel cars is statistically insignificant. This may be due to the fact that consumers rationally adjust their WTP by expecting compensation which will almost surely be provided by Volkswagen for violating models. Keywords: Volkswagen emissions scandal, willingness to pay, brand reputation.

  • The Life and Science of Richard Feynman, by James Gleick
    16. Genius: The Life and Science of Richard Feynman, by James Gleick From the author of the national bestseller Chaos comes an outstanding biography of one of the most dazzling and flamboyant scientists of the 20th century that "not only paints a highly attractive portrait of Feynman but also . makes for a stimulating adventure in the annals of science" 15. “Surely You’re Joking, Mr Feynman!” by Richard Feynman and Ralph Leighton Richard Feynman, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, thrived on outrageous adventures. Here he recounts in his inimitable voice his experience trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek; cracking the uncrackable safes guarding the most deeply held nuclear secrets; accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums; painting a naked female toreador. In short, here is Feynman's life in all its eccentric―a combustible mixture of high intelligence, unlimited curiosity, and raging chutzpah. 14. D Day – Through German Eyes, The Hidden Story of June 6th 1944, by Holger Eckhertz Almost all accounts of D Day are told from the Allied perspective, with the emphasis on how German resistance was overcome on June 6th 1944. But what was it like to be a German soldier in the bunkers and gun emplacements of the Normandy coast, facing the onslaught of the mightiest seaborne invasion in history? What motivated the German defenders, what were their thought processes - and how did they fight from one strong point to another, among the dunes and fields, on that first cataclysmic day? What were their experiences on facing the tanks, the flamethrowers and the devastating air superiority of the Allies? This book sheds fascinating light on these questions, bringing together statements made by German survivors after the war, when time had allowed them to reflect on their state of mind, their actions and their choices of June 6th.

Müller’s task was to draw the German multinational automotive manufacturing company out of the abyss of one of the worst reputation crises it had faced since its inception in 1937. The matter came to the fore when the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) slapped a legal notice on VW for violation of the Clean Air Act.3 The EPA accused VW of manipulating nitrogen oxide emissions tests to ensure its EA 189 diesel engines, built during fiscal years 2009–2015, met EPA standards.

  • Volkswagen Emissions Scandal: the Perils of Installing Illegal Software
    R M B www.irmbrjournal.com March 2017 R International Review of Management and Business Research Vol. 6 Issue.1 I Volkswagen Emissions Scandal: The Perils of Installing Illegal Software PETER STANWICK Auburn University, Department of Management Email: [email protected] SARAH STANWICK Auburn University, School of Accountancy Abstract This paper presents a case study related to the negative impacts of Volkswagen installing illegal software in its automobiles in order to manipulate the emissions level of its diesel vehicles. The case addresses reasons why Volkswagen decided in install the illegal software and highlights the negative consequences of its actions. These negative consequences include significant financial and reputational costs to Volkswagen. Key Words: Volkswagen; Emission Levels, Environmental Standards, Corporate Reputation. Introduction In a stunning announcement on September 18, 2015, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) accused Volkswagen of illegally installing software in its diesel cars that manipulated the amount of emissions occurring during testing of the levels of emission. The EPA alleged that Volkswagen used the software to turn on the full emissions control systems for the vehicle only when the vehicle was being tested for emissions. During any other time the vehicle was operating, the full emissions control system was turned off. The software would turn on the control systems when the car was running in a stationary position since that would be the condition when the car was being tested for emissions. The EPA estimated that when the full emissions control system had been turned off, the vehicle could release up to 40 times as much of the pollutant nitrogen oxide than is allowed under the Clean Air Act.
