Kerry Pemberton commented on the post, Case Question: Volkswagen Process Assessment, on the site 9 years, 7 months ago
The managing priorities at VW of America are much better than the old process. The various groups that have be reorganized and given power of authority provide a scripted direction for the company to move forward. However, I think that the constant change and failed attempts leaves the employees with a feeling of uncertainty and with…[Read more]

Kerry Pemberton commented on the post, Reading Question: Can you trust Yelp ratings?, on the site 9 years, 7 months ago
I would explain the controversy of the Yelp reviews to a 5 year old by saying to always tell the truth. Even if someone does not believe you are telling the truth, continue to tell the truth because it is the right thing to do. Also, in telling the truth, don’t say things to get attention, say things that have meaning.

I have used Uber before and I have a positive view of them. The Uber experience felt more like a friend giving me a lift than a taxi cab experience. The use of the personal vehicle made me feel comfortable. Also, the fact that the driver was pleasant and struck up good conversation made the transition from stranger to associate flow relatively…[Read more]

Kerry Pemberton commented on the post, Case Question: Airbnb — Information Sharing, on the site 9 years, 8 months ago
I think the renters should have minimal information about the hosts. Information such as ratings from previous renters and an overall rating from Airbnb would be the ideal information for the renter about the hosts. This information is different from the information provided from a hotel to the host because hotels are typically larger…[Read more]

Duke & Saqib, thanks for sharing the articles in regards to Airbnb’s statement by the CEO and insurance policies instituted. Also, the fact that there was not a crisis plan in place is a key element as to why the situation became viral. It is just hard for me to believe that Airbnb did not see this type of incident happening in the future.

I totally agree with the fact that Airbnb should have gathered more information about the customers as well as the hosts. It seems as though destructive behavior and damage to one’s property was inevitable given the lack of information and identification documents. Furthermore, I would not be comfortable renting my space to someone that I don’t…[Read more]

I am very green when it comes to gadgets and apps. I always am concerned about my smart phone or computer getting a virus and destroying my products. I guess I should be more like you and do some research and read reviews on products that I may be interested in. I will admit that I have streamed movies using my smart phone through pirate sites…[Read more]

Kevin,
I don’t have a Twitter account either, but I do have a Facebook account which I check a few times a month. I have found that a lot of false information circulates when it comes to new within Facebook. Do you see the same thing with Twitter? -

Paul,
I’m much like you. I am relatively new to the smart phone. Although, my job entails training individuals on SAP’s extended warehouse management system, it’s much different than using apps on a smart phone. I think my daughter that is turning 4 years old this month, was born with smart phone instructions. She can watch someone do…[Read more] -

I am not much of a technophile. The only apps that I have used on a regular basis are the ESPN app for fantasy football and the home page app for the NY Jets. Yes, I’m a Jets fan. Also, I use the Blackboard application to check my grades when I’m on the go. Outside of those things, I really use my phone to talk, send text, and check my work email.
