...Dino Chavez, 1501114 M. McKenzie English 1302, Period 4 21 May 2011 Human versus Machine In today’s world full of exponential technological growth, it is only a matter of time until the world irreversibly changed to conform to this technological growth. The present growth and apparent future growth due in part to the rise in popularity of biomedical engineering. But what exactly is biomedical engineering and how is it causing our world to show substantial growth in technology? Biomedical engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology. Because it is a highly interdisciplinary field, as one (inner) field of biology, medicine, or engineering expands, so does biomedical engineering. All of this technological growth does, however, pose a question: Will the vast technological growth cause a change in mankind? The rise in popularity of biomedical engineering will lead to machine taking over mankind or human immortality and dissolution of human identity. With the rise of biomedical engineering present, machines are making their presence. Lev Grossman states: “So if computers are getting so much faster, so incredibly fast, there might conceivably come a moment when they are capable of something comparable to human intelligence.” With the incredible power that is continually contributed to computers and other machines, is there a limit to how powerful machines will become? Without a limit to the amount of memory and...

...Spencer XECO/212 December 9, 2012 Jonathan Keisler Supply and Demand Cars are a good that almost everyone has. I just purchased my new car, an Audi A4. When it comes to any car manufacturing company they try to gauge what the market will do within the year and make enough vehicles to supply to their customers. Many of the manufacturing companies have started making their new models and sending them out to dealerships to be displayed and many models there for purchase. Then there are some companies that will only make enough models to have a few for purchase and the rest can be custom ordered by each customer to their liking which is something consumers see as a benefit and can raise the demand of certain vehicles. This also allows for the manufacturing company to better meet the demand without having an overabundance of supply. When a car manufacturing plant has a lot of cars left but no demand for them they just lost a ton of money. Cars are not cheap to put together hence the price we pay for them. The demand for cars is relative to price as well. The cars that are more affordable are more in demand and the supply of them will be greater as well to keep up with demand. Examples of these vehicles are Honda, Toyota, Chevy, Ford, and Subaru. Once you get into the higher priced vehicles or luxury class, such as Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and Volvo, the demand decreases, because of the price, and in turn so does the supply. In today’s economy another item that drives the demand of a...

...strategy and related tactics were first illustrated by specific examples and then surveyed in light of contemporary public relations and mass communication theories. [China Media Research. 2013; 9(3): 64-73] Key words: Audi, brand, reposition Introduction Audi, a subsidiary of German car manufacturer Volkswagen, entered the Chinese automobile market in 1988. In the late 1990s, or one decade after its China debut, Audi, with the help of Ruder Finn, a New-York based independent PR firm, began to implement a brand repositioning strategy in China. By the mid-2000s, thanks to its unremitting PR efforts, Audi has successfully repositioned itself from a government car brand to a premium car brand targeting successful business professionals (Ruder Finn, 2007). Since the launching of its China production in 1988, Audi was designated as the “premium government car brand” dedicated to serve high-rank government officials. In contrast, middle and low ranking government officials were only allowed to use Red Flags and Santana. Consequently, during the 1990s, Audi was largely perceived as “the government car brand” among Chinese general public (Li, 2005). The implications of such brand image are two-fold. As a government car serving exclusively the high-rank government officials, Audi symbolizes unchallenged status and power. Meanwhile, such...

...INTI INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY FACULTY OF BUSINESS, COMMUNICATION AND LAW MKT 2103 / MKT2105 – CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR AUGUST 2014 INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT (20%) Analyse the case study given and answer the following questions. While most automobile companies talk about bankruptcy, merger, collapse, and liquidation, Volkswagen AG is posting solid earnings. Based in Wolfsburg, Germany, and Europe's biggest automaker by sales, Volkswagen (VW) managed the global eco-nomic recession well by focusing on emerging markets such as China and Brazil and continually reducing costs. VW is the leading auto firm in China, not Toyota or Nissan. VW's market share in Western Europe rose to 20 percent in 2009 from 17.9 percent a year ago. While shrinking demand for new cars in major markets and high raw-material costs, and unfavorable exchange rates have reduced earnings of most European automakers, VW anticipated these conditions through excellent strategic planning and continues to take market share from rival firms worldwide. The German truck maker and engineering company MAN AG is VW's largest single shareholder at 30 percent, and its business too has been good. MAN'S third quarter of 2008 saw profit jump 34 percent, lifted by strong sales of trucks, diesel engines, and turbo machinery. VW is currently spending $1 billion to build a new plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the production of a midsize sedan in 2011 with initial capacity of 150,000 cars annually. VW's plans for 2018 include...

...Volkswagen Passat was designed in a way that it will stand out and do well in its competition with the Toyota Camry which were also be launched at the same time. Knowing that Camry is the best-selling car in the past 13 years, VW was challenged and thought that they should get out ahead of this launch and win consumers’ interest ahead of the Camry. Therefore, VW came up with their key objectives in achieving their sales goals – To get the consumers talking about the new and redesigned Volkswagen Passat, to exceed the key measures in Nielsen’s post-game study, and to get the consumers’ interest 7-months earlier before it will be on sale. VW came up with the big idea that “The Volkswagen Passat can help you lead a richer life.” One of the reasons for this idea was the fact that car users want something more and beyond normal transportation yet meets their budget, but it is more about the truth that these buyers want to have a car that can help them have a richer life by having the gratification of affording a car for themselves and their families from their hard work – giving them some sort of a status. They chose the 2011 Super Bowl to announce the new Volkswagen Passat and I think that was a very smart thing to do considering that it is the biggest stage in US which will correspond to an enormous number of audiences. They also made an advertisement entitled “The Force” which clearly used one of the product’s features – the keyless remote start. They involved in the story...

...German car maker has been installing “defeat devices “– software that allows cars to cheat in emission tests, making them appear than they actually are. What is Volkswagen accused of? Volkswagen’s software allowed it to beat the tests in a lab, but when on the road with emissions controls switched off, cars would pump out nitrogen oxide (NOx) at up to 40 times the legal limit. Crucially, the software “knew” when it was being tested, allowing it to switch emissions controls on and off. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found that many VW cars being sold in America had devices in diesel engines that could detect when they were being tested. The EPA’s findings cover 482,000 cars in the US only, including the VW- manufactured Audi A3, and the VW brands Jetta, Beetle, Golf and Passat. Who is to blame? It’s not yet clear who is responsible for fitting the cheating software. Martin Winterkorn, the German company’s chief executive, accepted responsibility when he resigned, but denied any wrongdoing on his part. Prosecutors in Germany have opened a criminal probe into Mr. Winterkorn. Mr. Winterkorn is replaced by Matthias Mueller, the boss Porsche. Where did the incident happen and why did Mr. Winterkorn resign? This scandal has happened in the United States of America. Mr. Winterkorn denied having any knowledge of the emissions cheating when he resigned. He has announced that he has not aware of any wrongdoing on his part. He also said that the process of clarification...

...Alaa Ghabris September 30, 2015 VW Case Topic: How VW failed. Volkswagen is a renowned German car manufacturer located in Wolfsburg. It is the second largest automaker in the world aimed at providing world class customer service. The issue at hand is how such a large company failed to meet worldwide expectations from its loyal customers. 1) What is the issue? The issue is that Volkswagen was cheating on emission tests by placing devices in the vehicles that could tell when they were being tested and change the performance of the car consequently to produce better results. 2) Why is it an ethical issue? It is an ethical issue because VW is a respectable company and all such companies are expected to stick to an ethical code of conduct (in this case externally enforced rules) and always pertain to the standards of the image it has created. By attempting to cheat the system of emission testing, unethical actions were taken. 3) What are the effects? The effects of this emission testing scandal were spread out to various stakeholder parties. The greatest groups affected within this scandal were government, nature and unions that support the greater good of it, shareholders, as well as customers themselves. The effects are the possibility of penalties and fines given by government per vehicle, the protests of environmental unions against the use of such ‘defeat devices’, disposal of management and other employees for the failure to uphold the interest of shareholder...

In my thesis paper I will write about the Volkswagen emission scandal which happened this year in September. The Volkswagen Group is one of the biggest automobile manufacturer in the world.

...Ethics & Credibility in Business Communications COM/295 October 5, 2015 Dr. Lodessa S. Washington Ethics & Credibility in Business Communications Volkswagen is the latest car manufacturer to be caught in the act of purposely manipulating emissions tests results in some of their vehicles. Over the years, several other manufacturers including General Motors, Ford and Honda have also been exposed for the same unethical behavior (Biesecker, 2015). In Volkswagen’s case, the long-term impact to their brand, reputation and credibility is further compounded because their cheating was actually uncovered in 2014, but the organization continued to manufacture cars with the faulty software, and intentionally withheld their trickery from consumers who thought they were buying environmentally friendly vehicles. It wasn’t until the scandal became public last month that Volkswagen finally came clean (Plungis and Hall, 2015). In the United States alone, Volkswagen will have to endure both state and federal investigations, as well as the additional scrutiny of congressional hearings, but the greatest cost Volkswagen will have to pay is the long-term impact to their brand, reputation and credibility. Volkswagen is one of the top automobile manufacturers in the world, with worldwide sales reaching 5.04 million vehicles, from January to June of this year, surpassing Toyota who regularly has held the top sales position (Harrison, 2015). The company now finds itself in the...

Innovations in the manufacturing process through integration and redesign of the value chain helped VW group reduce set up costs, manufacturing costs and labour costs while significantly reducing development times and costs of new models. Although Piëch was basically a one man band having control of the R & D, Quality, Production and Purchasing departments, his direction has left the incoming CEO with a solid base to further develop and grow the VW group. His vision and drive have placed VW in the position of number one automaker in Europe with market share well ahead of the nearest competitor. He has also globalised...
