Volkswagen Harakiri
1) Volkswagen was found to have installed illegal "defeat device" software in 11 million diesel vehicles worldwide to cheat emissions tests.
2) The software could detect test scenarios and put engines into a low-power mode to reduce emissions during tests.
3) Volkswagen faces fines up to $18 billion in the US and long-term damage to its reputation and brand trust. Other carmakers may face increased scrutiny over emissions testing practices.
4) The scandal has major implications for Volkswagen and the auto industry, with consumers potentially losing trust in diesel vehicles and manufacturers.
Volkswagen's Ethical Issue
The EPA is investigating VW for installing software that enabled its vehicles to cheat emissions tests and later emit 40 times more pollution than allowed.
Volkswagen case study
Volkswagen installed software on 482,000 diesel vehicles sold in the US between 2008-2015 to trick emissions tests. The software could detect when the car was being tested and turned on full emissions controls, but turned them off during normal driving to improve performance and fuel economy. VW admitted nearly 11 million worldwide vehicles were fitted with similar "defeat devices", emitting nitrogen oxide levels up to 40 times the legal limit. US authorities can fine VW up to $37,500 per affected vehicle, totaling $18 billion. The scandal is a major setback that will severely damage Volkswagen's reputation.
Volkswagen final
Volkswagen was caught using software to cheat emissions tests on diesel vehicles sold between 2009-2015. The software caused the vehicles to emit up to 40 times the legal limit of nitrogen oxide during normal driving. Volkswagen faces billions in fines and has recalled over 500,000 vehicles in the US alone as a result of the scandal, known as "Dieselgate". The excess emissions endangered public health and contravened US and European environmental laws.
Volkswagen scandal
Volkswagen was embroiled in an emissions scandal where it was discovered the company installed software on over 10 million diesel vehicles worldwide to cheat emissions tests. The scandal resulted in billions in fines for Volkswagen, a major drop in sales, and the resignation of the CEO. In response, Volkswagen apologized, suspended engineers responsible, pledged to increase investment in electric vehicles and improve testing and transparency. The document recommends Volkswagen thoroughly test vehicles, implement stakeholder impact analysis for ethical decisions, and create a foundation to support green technology innovation.
Volkswagen Emission Crisis
Volkswagen installed defeat device software in their diesel vehicles that could detect emission testing scenarios. During tests the software would put the engine into a "safe mode" where it met emissions standards, but on the road the vehicles emitted nitrogen oxide at levels up to 40 times the legal limit. In 2015 Volkswagen admitted to cheating emissions tests in the US, affecting 11 million vehicles worldwide. The scandal has major financial and reputational costs for Volkswagen, and they have launched initiatives to repair damage, increase compliance, and address customer concerns regarding affected vehicles.

Volkswagen emission DieselGate
The document summarizes the Volkswagen emissions scandal that unfolded from 2006 to 2015. It began when VW planned to increase its low U.S. market share and decided to install cheat devices to pass emissions tests. In 2013, investigations began after tests found VW diesel vehicles emitted nitrogen oxide at levels over EPA limits. In September 2015, the EPA exposed the scandal, and VW admitted installing software in 11 million vehicles worldwide to cheat emissions tests. The CEO resigned as the company faced lawsuits of $25 billion and a 34% drop in share price wiping out $16 billion in market value.

The document discusses measuring and promoting innovation in organizations. It provides three key points:
1. Measuring innovation through outputs like new products and patents does not guide performance improvement, which requires changes in how people work and make decisions.
2. Barriers to innovation include budgets, risk aversion, and defined roles that discourage experimentation. Innovation thrives on collaboration, speed, and accepting failure.
3. Developing trust is important for innovation as it facilitates knowledge sharing and risk-taking with new partners. Trust evolves over time through consistent behaviors across individuals and organizations.

Five words to Tame A Dragon
This document discusses how to persuade customers to adopt a new product. It explains that customers buying a product means they were persuaded to change their behavior, switch from an existing option, or adopt something new. This persuasion provides awareness, motivates trial and adoption, lowers costs/risks, and convinces customers that benefits outweigh alternatives. Key factors that influence adoption are relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability, and observability. The document stresses the importance of experimentation to test customer interest and sales through cheap, simple, and fast initial efforts.
Aie 2015 trust and innovation
This document discusses the importance of trust in fostering innovation within organizations. It outlines a Behavioral Trust Framework (BTF) that identifies specific trust-building and trust-damaging behaviors. The BTF allows individuals and organizations to understand how to develop trust and collaboration, which are necessary for innovation. Applying the BTF can help reduce controls and proxies for trust, allowing for greater innovation capacity. Managing trust behaviors, rather than just outcomes, is key to catalyzing innovation.
Trust and weak Ties
This document discusses how trust and weak ties can promote innovation. It notes that innovative companies are able to build relationships with weaker ties that are informal with infrequent communication and complementary knowledge. These weak ties are a source of innovation but relationships are difficult given limited track records. The document suggests changing organizational behaviors and design to better develop these weak tie relationships and manage relationship risk through trust rather than control. It provides a framework for understanding how specific trust behaviors can build, damage, or violate relationship trust over time.
Trust and innovation for iaoip
This document discusses innovation and trust in organizations. It argues that innovation requires changing products, customers, business models, people, processes, culture and behaviors. Successful innovative organizations have decision processes that are faster, spread accountability, encourage risk-taking and experimentation. They also communicate accurately and frequently, with two-way information sharing. Relationship trust is important for innovation as it facilitates knowledge sharing and speeds relationship development. Trust develops over time based on consistent trustworthy and trusting behaviors. The document provides a diagnostic for organizations to assess the trustworthy and trusting behaviors between those with weak ties.
Creative problem solving
The document discusses creative problem solving techniques. It recommends spending time defining the problem before leaping to solutions. It outlines techniques like the Five Whys method and brainstorming or brainwriting where participants build on each other's ideas. The goal is to remove contradictions and think outside the box to find novel solutions by not dismissing any ideas and working together to group and build upon concepts.

Abstract
General Motor (GM) is a multinational automobile manufacturer. The company was founded in 1908 in Flint, Michigan by William Durant and Charles Mott. At present, GM is the second largest automaker after Toyota as measured according to the global industry sales. A key competitive edge that GM has compared with its competitors is its innovative designs and products. The purpose of this paper is to study the company based on the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award criteria. GM’s key strategic objectives are place the company to be competitive, satisfy customers, remain solid growth in global vehicle sales, and continually invest to dedicate to improving cultural, economic, educational, environmental, and social aspects of the communities. The paper will look into; internal analysis of GM strategic plan, leadership, customer analysis, human resource analysis, and business process management within the organization.
A key to GM’s success is its management. Without efficient management GM would not have been able to sell and finance its vehicles globally. Success does not mean that the company is not facing any impending threats. Threats for the company do exist in the industry, especially in terms of high cost and brand dilution. In order to avoid them, GM needs to reduce the cost of its vehicles and to add GM letters in all of its brands to increase the awareness among its .
General Motors Case Study
General Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2009 after facing a liquidity crisis due to declining sales and revenues exacerbated by the global financial crisis. The company received $13.4 billion in federal loans from the US government to restructure its operations and reduce costs. However, GM still faced challenges emerging from bankruptcy due to lingering brand issues, an unfavorable shift in consumer preferences away from trucks, and the potential for government influence over product decisions as the largest shareholder.
The GM Recalls!!
General Motors recalled over 800,000 vehicles worldwide in 2014 due to a faulty ignition switch that could shut off the engine and prevent airbag deployment. The defect had been known to GM for over a decade but was not disclosed until an attorney obtained documents showing GM's knowledge. Over 100 deaths were linked to the defect and GM faced billions in losses, lawsuits, and fines from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for its delayed response. The recall ultimately led to the departure of several GM executives.

The document outlines barriers to innovation adoption and how to develop a compelling value proposition to increase adoption of disruptive technologies like blockchain.
Teams for technology development (ISPIM)
1. Teams developing technology face challenges like being informal, cross-functional with little training, and having outcomes that are not clear.
2. High-performance teams develop a sense of purpose and direction, embrace complementary skills, make consensus-based decisions incorporating different perspectives, and leverage individual strengths.
3. Embracing diversity improves innovation but is more difficult, as different problem-solving styles are needed at each stage and individuals value their own style over others, creating potential conflicts.
Canadian innovators network
1) Barriers to innovation include changing current processes and procedures, modifying management styles, developing new organizational structures, abandoning existing products, and modifying incentives and company culture.
2) Maxwell's three laws of innovation inertia state that organizations naturally resist change, larger organizations require more force to change, and any force applied to an organization generates an equal and opposite reaction force.
3) The innovation quotient measures five factors that determine an organization's ability to innovate: strategy, culture, processes, resources, and relationships. Organizations need both a performance engine to exploit existing capabilities and an innovation engine to explore new opportunities.

Investor mindset
Business angels are the second most important source of capital for high-growth ventures. Understanding how business angels make investment decisions is critical for entrepreneurs who want their money. Business angels approach investment opportunities using a boundedly rational approach, where they minimize decision-making effort. They first look at objective venture factors like market size, barriers to entry, and financial viability, then use individual subjective factors to reject opportunities. When assessing risk, business angels examine inherent risk, performance risk, and relationship risk. They also consider the entrepreneur's experience, expertise, and characteristics to assess performance risk, and use behavioral cues to evaluate long-term relationship risk. Business angels also consider the potential exit when making investment decisions.

- 9. • It took General Motors more than 10 years to issue a recall for 2.6 million cars carrying an ignition switch now blamed for at least 124 deaths and 275 injuries. • The firm admitted in September that it failed to disclose its small-car ignition switch could turn the car off while being driven, lock the steering wheel and also fail to set off airbags in a crash. There are internal reports about the problem dating back to 2002 in the Saturn Ion, Reuters reported. • The deception cost the company more than $1 billion US — and 15 people their jobs. • The firm reached a $900-million settlement with the U.S. government to avoid criminal charges. That figure is on top of $625 million that GM set aside as compensation for those injured or killed by the flawed ignition switch. Families of those who died will get at least $1 million. 9 GM in the news
