Abstract:
A research project involving faculty, staff, students, and the business community was undertaken to investigate and report upon the current status of one of the most egregious scandals in automotive history. A research team consisting of four faculty members and four undergraduate students uncovered and reported the details surrounding the Volkswagen (VW) diesel scandal, and provided recommendations for how VW could regain its stature as the worlds largest automobile manufacturer. The team presented its findings and recommendations in a variety of formats and settings including written cases and case presentations.
