Volkswagen case study
Answer 1– Volkswagen was found to be involved into violation of Corporate Social
Responsibility in manufacturing of its cars by using software inside the car which falsifies
polluted car emissions scale. It was an unethical behaviour on the part of the company to pass
the test of the EPA minimum standards of pollution by a vehicle. As a result, there was fall
down in the value of the company‟s share as it highly impacted the society due to loss of trust
and reliability over the company. The installation of „defeat software‟ inside the car showed
improved outcomes in terms of emissions by sensing its speed, pressure and operation. The
actual performance of the car did not meet the required standards before launch of the car in

possible. Since the value of the shareholders was greatly affected, therefore the level...
