Abstract:
Purpose Following the diesel emissions debacle of 2015, Volkswagen Group has rebounded significantly in terms of sales and market value. When examining Volkswagen’s dramatic recovery, it is clear to notice four distinct elements that helped to bring about this rapid turnaround. To push through the public relations nightmare and regain sales traction, Volkswagen embarked on a four-step process that centered on four key words: Replace, Restructure, Redevelop and Rebrand. The purpose of this study is to examine that process. Design/methodology/approach This study is a case study examining the performance of Volkswagen Group and their recovery from the 2015 diesel emissions scandal. To achieve their significant turnaround, the company sought to: replace the leadership, restructure the organization, redevelop the strategy and rebrand the product. This study examines those four steps in the recovery process as a model for other firms. Findings To try and achieve an unprecedented turnaround, the company sought to: replace the leadership, restructure the organization, redevelop the strategy and rebrand the product. These four strategic elements formed the basis of a newly focused company and continue to push the company forward and further away from the scandal. This four-step process of recovery provides an excellent case study for other firms who may find themselves in the midst of turmoil and crisis.

Abstract:
In several ways, the revelations that Volkswagen used software to cheat on vehicle emissions tests echo common threads of greenwashing cases against car manufacturers. However, in one significant respect, the Volkswagen scandal is much more than just another example of greenwashing. That is, the German automaker's use of software to deceive brings a novel technological aspect to greenwashing. This article discusses the Volkswagen scandal in the context of automobile greenwashing cases and highlights this newhigh-tech greenwashing.

Abstract:
In 2014, a scandal involving fraud and power shook the Volkswagen Group with far-reaching consequences that are yet to be fully revealed. This article examines the Volkswagen emissions scandal in terms of corporate governance failure. After a chronological review of the events that led to this extraordinarily damaging revelation, the main differences between the American and the German board system are described. Although Germany’s two-tier board is often considered superior to the American board system, weaknesses in the area of corporate ethics and culture that led to the crisis in the Volkswagen case are identified. The particular constellation within the Volkswagen group and its ownership structure reveals failures in management ethics that led to a certain kind of behaviour among employees that was not explicitly mandated by the management but was, nevertheless, in its interest in regard to achieving company goals.

Abstract:
Synopsis This case on “Corporate governance: a farce at Volkswagen (VW)” is set in September of 2015. The precipitating events, which started with the Emissions scandal and tampering of the technology, unfold a history of threatening organizational culture, deliberate cheating, and failure of good governance. The case presents that though the outgoing CEO took the responsibility for the event but said that he was shocked by the event and stunned that the misconduct of such a scale could occur in the VW Group. Given the roles and responsibilities of board of management and the supervisory board, how could the scandal of such magnitude go unnoticed? Were robust corporate governance practices being not followed at VW? Research methodology The case is based on the material available in the public domain, records, press reports, published books, interviews published by key board members of Volkswagen and the company website. Relevant courses and levels This case can be used for undergraduate senior classes or graduate and executive education level courses in corporate governance and ethical practices. This case will sync best with the topics around Board Composition and size, Board Independence, fiduciary duties of supervisory board, board duality and leadership and its impact on organizational culture.

Abstract:
Mestrado em Finanças
This project report follows the format recommended by the CFA Institute “(Pinto et. al., 2015)” and materials on this report will only reflect the public information issued on Volkswagen AG until September 30th, 2016. Volkswagen AG is Europe’s largest auto-manufacturer and one of the largest worldwide. The company offers a wide selection of brand portfolios and generates the highest economies scale in Europe in this industry. The emission scandal it faced on 2015 reflected negatively in the company’s financials and its stock price plunged to nearly 50%. Conducting an in-depth analysis on the company’s management, financials, market and risk assessment along with the application with the most realistic assumptions enabled a proper valuation on the company’s target price. Using the discounted cash flow (DCF) to the firm as the main valuation methodology, a target price of €146.36 for 2017YE was attained with an upside potential of 25.1% from its current price of €116.95 on September 30th, 2016 rated the company with a “Buy” recommendation with high risk. Complementary valuation methods were used and market uncertainties in our estimations were stressed, and all supported our “Buy” recommendation. The current target price of €146.36 is a downward revision by me if the company did not have such scandal. I have valued VW with and without the scandal and the impact on price target was a decrease of about €43.32 per share, or €21.7 billion (for 501 billion shares outstanding) in terms of present value at 2017YE. Despite the loss in its fundamental (present) value of around 29.6% (€21.7 billion), in this report the total estimated and not discounted ‘direct’ cost of the scandal reaches about €46.4 billion.
Este relatório de projeto segue o formato recomendado pelo CFA Institute “(Pinto et. al., 2015)” e os conteúdos deste relatório apenas refletem a informação pública emitida sobre a Volkswagen AG até 30 de setembro de 2016. A Volkswagen AG é a maior produtora automóvel da Europa e uma das maiores do mundo. A empresa tem disponível um vasto portefólio de marcas e gera as maiores economias de escala da Europa na indústria. O escândalo das emissões que enfrentou em 2015 influenciou negativamente as contas da empresa e o preço das suas ações desvalorizou quase 50%. O desenvolvimento de uma análise detalhada da gestão da empresa, contas, mercado e avaliação de risco conjuntamente com a aplicação dos pressupostos mais realistas permitiram uma adequada avaliação do preço alvo da empresa. Através do modelo dos fluxos de caixa descontados (DCF) para a empresa como principal metodologia de avaliação, o preço alvo de €146,36 para 2017FA foi obtido com um potencial de crescimento de 25,1% do preço atual de €119,95 em 30 de setembro de 2016, classificou a empresa com uma recomendação de “Comprar” com elevado risco. Métodos de avaliação complementares foram usados e alterações em estimativas incertas de mercado foram testadas, tendo todas elas suportado a recomendação de “Comprar”. O preço alvo atual de €146,36 corresponde a uma revisão em baixa caso a empresa não tivesse tido o escândalo. Avaliei a VW com e sem o impacto do escândalo no preço alvo, correspondendo a uma diminuição de cerca de €43,32 por ação, ou €21,7 mil milhões (para 501 mil milhões de ações em circulação) em termos de valores atuais a 2017FA. Apesar da perda no seu valor fundamental (atual) de cerca de 29,6% (€21,7 mil milhões), neste relatório a estimativa do custo ‘direto’ total do escândalo, não descontado, chega a cerca de €46,4 mil milhões.

Abstract:
The Volkswagen emissions scandal is one of the largest CSR crises in recent times given its scope and severity. From the outset, the manner in which Volkswagen has addressed the crisis and how it is going to be solved has been subject to public scrutiny. This study set out to examine the crisis communication in Volkswagen’s sustainability magazine Shift from 2016 featuring Volkswagen together with some of its internal and external stakeholders like the management and customers to find out what strategies were used by the company to repair its reputation and to assess the success of these strategies. Additionally, of interest was to compare the viewpoints of external stakeholders to that of Volkswagen, while also to investigate what kind of actors and opinions of the crisis that were presented. To answer these questions, a strategic selection of texts from the magazine were analysed through a qualitative text analysis. The theoretical perspectives consisted of the two crisis communication theories of image repair theory and situational crisis communication theory. The findings of the study indicate that the strategies used by Volkswagen to address the crisis do not seem very successful in general. Even if the most common strategy by Volkswagen is to discuss potential solutions to the crisis, these solutions are mainly oriented towards solving the crisis in a long-term perspective through a development of new vehicles. The biggest difference in comparison to external stakeholders is that they instead seem more concerned with solving the crisis in a shorter perspective through increased compensation to customers, for instance. Another finding is that a preference for more elitist stakeholders in the magazine could be due to a strategic choice by Volkswagen to avoid unfavourable reviews and use leaders as a tool for inspiring change. The main conclusion of the study is that work still needs to be done before Volkswagen can claim to have achieved a shift in the company’s sustainability communication. To do so, Volkswagen needs to take more responsibility for the crisis and to pay even more attention to the opinions of its different stakeholder groups.

Abstract:
Title: Designing Communication for Dialogue and Engagement Authors: Christopher Bradson & Sofia Amanuel Level: Master Thesis, 30p  Keywords: Dialogue, Communication Design, Stakeholder engagement, Stakeholder communication, CSR communication.  Background: The changed attitudes about the role of business in today's contemporary society alongside with globalization and the evolved media-information environment has enlarged the pressures on businesses in regards to how they should pursue profitability, while responding to demands about accountability that is motivated beyond financial gain. There is a need for a better understanding about communication choices and how these are perceived by intended stakeholders, in order to accelerate effective communication that initiates stakeholder engagement. Research Questions:(1)How is Volkswagens communication design constructed in creating dialogue and engagement after a corporate scandal with its customers? (2)How does Swedish Volkswagen customers, in attribute of being external stakeholders, perceive the opportunities for engagement based on the four selected Volkswagen tools? What challenges does Volkswagen encounter when trying to create dialogue through these tools? Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine how Volkswagen is creating opportunities for stakeholder dialogue and engagement through the theoretical perspective of communication design. By engagement we mean one-way or two-way communication, where stakeholders seek out or take part of communicative messages provided by the organisation.The study aims to examine how Volkswagen has designed their communication efforts, after being subjected to a global corporate scandal which proposed public demands for accountability and responsibility. Theoretical Framework: The framework consists of Communication theories, giving considerable space to literature from theorists Aakhus and Bzdak whom developed the framework for communication design used in this study. Additionally, the framework includes a smaller selection of CSR, Public Relation, and Media research focusing on stakeholder engagement.  Method: We have taken two parallel methodological pathways. The first method involved applying for elements provided by Aakhus and Bzdak framework for reconstructive design, while doing a thematic analysis on the media texts provided by the tools. The second research question was examined by conducting semi-structured interviews with Swedish Volkswagen stakeholders in order to gain a deeper understanding if Volkswagens communicative instruments were enabling engagement.   Findings & Conclusions: Our study concludes that Volkswagen is showcasing constructs in their design that aims to reduce scepticism among stakeholders, addressing important issues for stakeholders, providing solutions and articulating progress in multi-stake issues. Wealso conclude that Volkswagens communication messages are conveyed in a calculated way, with a persuasive nature to create an identity of being a ‘corporate good citizen’.There is a complexity in terms of diminishing scepticism, since stakeholders are being more demanding in today's society, particularly after a corporate scandal such as the one Volkswagen has been subjected to. Stakeholders are becoming more aware that companies are dictating the dialogic discourse, which affects the communication design in what motives a company incorporates in their communication. We conclude that customers felt that the opportunities to engage with the company was fairly low, and highly depended on how they where processing the nature of the messages (intrinsic/extrinsic),as well as how they defined engagement from personal beliefs and values.

This study employs the event study to explore whether the related events of Volkswagen emissions scandal have information content in Taiwanese stock market. Further, this study builds a regression model to explore whether corporate governance has a moderating effect to the market reaction of the events about Volkswagen emissions scandal. The related events this study chooses are (1) Volkswagen emissions scandal outbreak, (2) Taiwan EPA release the PEMS results, and (3) Taiwan EPA agrees the recall case. The research sample of this study is Taiwanese listed companies in the automobile industry. The empirical results show that the related events of Volkswagen emissions scandal result in short-term negative influence on stock returns of Taiwanese listed companies in the automobile industry. However, the results from these events is not serious. In contrast, there are positive abnormal returns during the later event period because of the optimistic expectations of the automobile industry in Taiwan.

Put it in your pipe and smoke it. The Volkswagen Emissions Scandal. A management-based failure? Organisational culture in the shadow of dark leadership This dissertation aims to discuss how leadership contributed to the Volkswagen Emissions Scandal. By clustering the sequence of events in the run-up to the revelation, key events and key figures are identified. Based on extracted information, which are applied to the competing-values model, VW’s organisational culture is defined. While examining the impact of engineering and business-related leadership, a link between culture, performance-based pay and trans-hierarchical collaborative cheating is established. Moreover, a causal chain and an open-systems model, aggregate the findings gained. Finally, the implications part evaluates risks and provide recommendations, before limitations and opportunities for future research are discussed.

In this fast pacing world, managers need to quickly adapt their strategies bearing in mind companies goals and business plan. Was not this challenging enough, the number of agents and aspects to have in consideration are increasing and their needs go from environmental sustainability to companies’ profit and social impact. A wrong decision can unleash serious issues that affect companies’ finances and name/image. Being so, the aim of this report is to highlight the usefulness of Integrated Thinking dealing with this reality, by applying this methodology to Volkswagen in a period where its reputation, strategy and business plan are being questioned and it has the need to overcome this situation.

Abstract:
Credit ratings are used to assess the probability of default of a company. There are different approaches using a quantitative, qualitative or a hybrid method for evaluating the creditworthiness. In this thesis, the impact of the emission scandal of Volkswagen on the credit rating will be determined. Therefore, three approaches will be conducted, namely the S&P rating, which is a hybrid method, as well as the two quantitative concepts Z-Score and Distant to Default, will be conducted. The results will be compared with each other before as well as after the emission scandal.

Abstract:
This Master Thesis explores the role of values to address a legitimacy threat. I analyzed how an organization can use values to address a legitimacy threat and whether values change over time when doing so. My study aimed to enrich literature focusing on legitimacy processes and strategies as well as on the legitimacy construct in general. For this purpose I conducted a single qualitative inductive study based on Volkswagen‟s NOx emission scandal which called the legitimacy of the organization into question. Thereby, I scrutinized Volkswagen‟s institutional communication based on 474 press releases published between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2016 on Volkswagen‟s Media Services website. I applied the Grounded Theory and Temporal Bracketing Strategy as well as a frequency analysis to move from raw data to theory. The main findings of my Master Thesis suggest that organizations can address values to react to a legitimacy threat and that the addressed values are dynamic and stable at the same time. By addressing dynamic values the organization adapts the conveyed message strategically to stakeholders‟ expectations towards the organization after a transgression. Addressing stable values implies referring to established concepts to add credibility to the expressed message in the legitimacy defense process. The usage of values in Volkswagen‟s institutional communication gives hints that Volkswagen actively avoided applying the decoupling strategy to defend their legitimacy, although it constitutes a frequently described practice. My study provides also insights for practitioners as I outline how to manage effectively a legitimacy threat by addressing values.
Esta dissertação analisa o papel de valores na abordagem de uma ameaça à legitimidade. Analisei a forma como uma organização pode usar valores para abordar uma ameaça à legitimidade e se os valores mudam com o tempo neste caso. A minha pesquisa visa enriquecer estudos centrados nos processos e estratégias de legitimação, bem como no conceito de legitimidade em geral. Para este fim realizei um único estudo indutivo com base no escândalo das emissões NOX da Volkswagen, que pôs em causa a legitimidade da organização. Analisei a comunicação institucional da Volkswagen com base em 474 relatórios de imprensa publicados entre 1 de janeiro de 2014 e 31 de dezembro de 2016 no sítio Media Services da Volkswagen. Apliquei a Grounded Theory e a Temporal Bracketing Stategy bem como uma análise de frequência, para passar de dados brutos a teoria. Os principais resultados mostram que as organizações podem abordar valores para reagirem a uma ameaça à legitimidade e que os valores abordados são simultaneamente dinâmicos e constantes. Abordando valores dinâmicos a organização adapta a mensagem estrategicamente às expectativas dos stakeholders depois duma transgressão. Abordar valores constantes implica referir-se a temas estabelecidos para dar credibilidade à mensagem expressa. O uso de valores na comunicação institucional sugere que a Volkswagen evitou ativamente aplicar a estratégia de dissociação para defender a legitimidade embora represente um procedimento frequentemente descrito. A minha pesquisa proporciona também elementos para executivos de empresas porque explico como lidar efetivamente com uma ameaça à legitimidade através da abordagem de valores.

Abstract:
In this chapter, evading blame is the incentive to delegate. Retrospectively or prospectively, one delegates to a “fall guy” lower down in the organization to protect oneself from the consequences of one’s actions. Blame is a task that the principal opportunistically allocates the agent when the unanticipated contingency of a whistle-blower appears on the scene and wrongdoing becomes visible. Volkswagen software engineers, hired to write code, were tasked with the blame when the scandal over diesel emissions erupted; Abu Ghraib personnel were blamed for the torture of detainees; and commanders recruited militias rather than regular forces to carry out controversial violence in the French-Indian War, the Irish Civil War, and elsewhere.
