Jonathan Wise commented on the post, Case Question: Volkswagen – Advice for Matulovic, on the site 9 years, 7 months ago
In my view, CEO Matulovic would lose credibility and compromise the success of the new priority management system if he were to provide special favors or treatment to certain members of the Executive Leadership Team (“ELT”) by allowing them to bypass the new priority management system. If there is a project a fellow executive feels needs to be…[Read more]

My assessment of the new process for managing priorities at VWoA is positive as the new system provides a much needed improvement over the prior decision making processes that included unstructured debate among executive sponsors. I think the new process for managing priorities under the “Next Round of Growth” (“NRG”) initiative was impleme…[Read more]

On the one hand, I think that technology has made it more difficult to commit fraud; but on the other hand, I think it is easier to commit widespread fraud if a hacker is successful. In the articles, the human errors seem to have caused the problems, not the actual technology. The technology actually notified the companies of potential security…[Read more]

I would try to explain to a five year old that there is a controversy regarding Yelp’s reviews because not everyone always tells the truth. Sometimes, people are dishonest to trick someone into believing something that is not true. For example, it would be like another five year old telling you that Frozen was not a good movie, even though t…[Read more]

Steve, I agree that some minimal level of collecting data on hosts and renters should be a requirement for using the Airbnb services. Airbnb should really do this for the protection of its clients—the renters and hosts—as well as its reputation to avoid any future “EJ” incidents. The amount of information collected should not be too intrusi…[Read more]

Kevin, Great points. I agree Jacob and Paul were simply not prepared for this type of crisis and did not recognize it as a serious threat. The hackers accomplished exactly what they wanted to because Jacob and Paul did not have a contingency plan. Additionally, Jacob was overconfident that they could fix the problem on their own when they…[Read more]

Sunnylake’s data system containing important patient information had been hacked into and held for ransom. I found this article to be particularly interesting because IT at my company randomly sent emails to employees from fake accounts to test if we would open them. This was a real wake up call. I received what looked like a legitimate email t…[Read more]

I think there are several things Airbnb could have done to avoid the “EJ” incident. Specifically, Airbnb could have required more information. The renter should have had to at least provide accurate contact information. Additionally, a credit card could have been required on file to cover any potential damage caused. Technology should be use…[Read more]

Hi Everyone,
An app that I used for the first time this past weekend and found to be very useful is called Waze. It’s a community-based navigation app in which drivers or passengers share live traffic information. One of its main features is that community members can identify hazards in real-time so that other drivers can avoid them. Once a h…[Read more]
