• The Volkswagen case represents above all an absolute failure
in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility .The company
deliberately set out a design a means to circumvent emission
control – a stratagem knows at the highest level- with the aim
of giving company unfair advantage over its competitors that
made it the worlds No. 1 car maker in large part on the basis
of its supposedly environment friendly car , meanwhile it was
poisoning the planet.
