Volkswagen Emissions Scandal: Dr. Chris Bauer Discusses the Ethical Implications


Ask the Experts: Volkswagen Emissions Scandal

Dr. Chris Bauer sits down with us to discuss what’s now being called Dieselgate

Volkswagen is currently facing billions in legal ramifications for developing a software to recognize the exact moment their vehicles were undergoing emissions testing in order to ensure lower emissions output. In the wake of this unprecedented emissions scandal, we sat down with Dr. Chris Bauer, author, consultant and speaker on ethics and compliance, to discuss the ethical issues surrounding the alleged EPA testing deception.

Who's to blame? What needs to change within Volkswagen's organization culture? And what can Volkswagen do to recover from this scandal? Find out in the short video below!

Questions:

  1. How could an organization as large and successful as Volkswagen end up in a situation like this? What fundamental problems in the organization could have allowed this to happen?
  2. Who in an organization is to blame when there’s an ethics problem as blatant and systemic as this? Obviously a lot of people in the organization knew about this.
  3. What should Volkswagen do going forward to fix their ethics culture and regain the public’s trust?
