Problems at Volkswagen Start in the Boardroom

September 24, 2015

James Stewart, for the New York Times:

I spoke this week to a longtime former senior Volkswagen executive, who agreed that a scandal, especially one involving emissions, was all but inevitable at Volkswagen. He cited the company’s isolation, its clannish board and a deep-rooted hostility to environmental regulations among its engineers. […]

The Volkswagen board has been especially slow to move on environmental issues, investing less in electric and hybrid engine technology than industry leaders.

Sounds like a company that will have trouble with the curve (pictured here).
