在当今的全球工作场所中，所有高管和公司都必须确保其经理和员工为了自身以及环境和消费者的长期利益做出道德和可持续的决策。大众汽车（VW）历来被誉为汽车组织的优质品牌；但现在他们也将继续被认为是一家故意、有意识地操纵汽车软件来伪造数据的全球性公司。他们将被认为是一家在遵守排放标准方面欺骗美国政府和公众的公司；然而，他们被抓住了，并将在应对这场危机的过程中付出沉重的代价。这一故意丑闻让人们思考，在大众的企业文化中，政府欺骗是否被认为是正常和可接受的，以及未来如何防止这种操纵。在本文中，我们提供了有关大众汽车排放危机的事实，并讨论了该丑闻造成的有害后果。根据吸取的经验教训，本文为所有本地和全球公司的经理和员工提供了做出道德、透明和可持续决策的建议。最后，提供了一系列讨论问题，以便管理者和商科学生可以反思这些问题，以创建一种组织文化，使有效和可持续的决策成为常态。
In today’s global workplace, all executives and corporations must ensure that their managers and employees make ethical and sustainable decisions for their own long-term interest as well as those of the environment and consumers. Volkswagen (VW) has traditionally been known as a quality brand of automotive organization; but now they will also continue to be recognized as a global company that willfully and consciously manipulated their car’s software to falsify data. They will be known as a company that deceived the U.S. government and the public regarding compliance with emission standards; however, they got caught and will pay a heavy price in managing this crisis. This willful scandal makes one think if government deception was considered normal and acceptable in VW’s corporate culture and how such manipulation can be prevented in the future. In this article, we provide the facts about the VW emissions crisis along with a discussion of the harmful consequences resulting from the scandal. Based on the lessons learned, the article offers recommendations for managers and employees of all local and global corporations in making ethical, transparent and sustainable decisions. Finally, a list of discussion questions are offered so managers and business students can reflect upon them for the creation of an organizational culture where effective and sustainable decisions become the norm.
