Accountability Mechanisms in Volkswagen and Nike

Accountability Mechanisms in Volkswagen and Nike An ever evolving set of responsibilities (and accountabilities) for the functioning and welfare of individuals, society and the environment is entrusted to public sector organisations and private business enterprises. Using both positive and negative examples discuss the above statement. Accountability is defined as the fact or condition of being accountable; responsibility (Oxford Dictionary, 2016). It is an essential part of all businesses both large and small. The power that one party has which enables them to demand accounts from another party is through various accountability mechanisms. This essay will examine how a small selection of said accountability mechanisms succeeded or failed in the cases of two large corporations Volkswagen and Nike. The environment is entrusted into the hands of businesses. A prime example of when this trust was broken is the Volkswagen (VW) emissions scandal. In this case, the legal accountability mechanism failed miserably. Legal accountability is the obligation that companies have to the law. These accountabilities unlike some others e.g. market accountability are compulsory. The VW emissions scandal erupted on the 18th of September 2015 (Kollewe, 2015). The company was ordered to recall 482,000 cars in the US after the scandal was unveiled. Due to the deliberate illegal installation of a defeat device, VW could cheat emissions testing on several models and was cleared to sell them (Hotten, 2015). The defeat device caused cars affected to excel under normal emissions testing conditions. Its purpose was to recognise test conditions e.g. a locked steering wheel and a stationary test rig and put the vehicles into a safety mode which resulted in the cars emitting a significantly lower level o f air pollutants than they would under normal driving conditions. The rigging of tests allowed VW to manufacture and sell thousands of cars that were advertised as being revolutionary due their low emissions. The stark reality was that when tested out-with normal test conditions, the engines emitted nitrogen oxide pollutants up to 40 times above what is allowed in the US (Hotten, 2015). When the scandal broke, it was unveiled that 11 million cars worldwide could possibly be fitted with the device (Kollewe, 2015). What is questionable, is the fact that the company only suggested that 11m cars could possibly be fitted with the device. One would think that they would know how many times they broke the law considering all the profits that they raked in. This resulted in the emitted pollution totalling almost 1 million tonnes per year (Lee and Vachon, 2016). Roughly the same as the UKs combined emissions for all power stations, vehicles, industry and agriculture (Mathiesen and Nelsen, 20 16). VW did not take care of the environment here because although their deceit caused them to rake in profits, their carelessness and lack of consideration has resulted in a negative impact on the environment and society at large. In the case of this scandal, the legal accountability mechanism failed because although the law stated that cars could not emit more pollution than a set amount, VW used deceitful ways cunning practices to bypass the law. Since the truth has been unveiled, VW has paid and will continue to pay dearly for their wrongdoings with lawsuits and continued legal action being taken against them. Furthermore, legal accountability is not the only accountability mechanism that failed in relation to the VW scandal. Another one was market accountability, accountability to the output market in particular. The output market is where goods are sold and services are provided. This market is especially important as consumers in such markets can take their custom elsewhere in the event of a companys wrongdoing. As such a large company, VW was trusted by millions of users all around the world. They bought their products because of their brand loyalty and belief. They were drawn in by the advertisements promoting clean diesel and gave up their hard-earned money in order to receive a product that unbeknownst to them was contributing astonishing amounts of pollution into the atmosphere (Jopson, McGee and Campbell, 2016). A study found that US [VW] vehicles would have spewed between 10,392 and 41,571 tonnes of toxic gas into the air each yearà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦. If they had complied with EPA st andards, they would have emitted just 1,039 tonnesà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦each year in total (Mathiesen and Nelsen, 2016). The failure of market accountability is equally even more astonishing due to the astounding volumes of pollution that was emitted due to these defeat devices. Not only did VW show a lack of regard for the environment, but they also did not act responsibly with the trust bestowed onto them by the output market society. The market penalized VW for its unsustainable behaviour with many customers taking their custom elsewhere. Volkswagen faces a consumer backlash against its brand (Lee and Vachon, 2016) and deservedly so. The VW scandal is a perfect example of the impact that both legal and market accountabilities can have on a company when they are ignored. On the contrary, public reputational and market accountability succeeded in the case of Nike. The company began their Reuse-a-shoe initiative in 1990 and since then have recycled more than 28 million pairs of shoes and 36,000 tons of scrap material into Nike Grind for use in more than 450,000 locations around the world (Ekstrà ¶m, 2014). The material Nike Grind- is created using the slice-and-grind method. This meant that the shoes were sliced into three separate parts: rubber outsole, foam midsole and fibre upper. The three separate parts would then be ground and refined for use (Nike, 2016). The three different types of Nike Grind can then be used for different purposes, all for benefitting communities and society in general. What is remarkable is the fact that Nike saw an opportunity to make use of all the old trainers that were being incorrectly disposed of. By beginning this initiative, it is easy to see that Nike could build a strong brand loyalty. Consumers are always eager to support an initiative that will better the planet in any way, shape or form and Nike realised this and have succeeded.   Nikes Grind website states: Nikes vision is that our products will be closed loop-that is, they will use the fewest possible materials and be assembled in ways that allow them to be readily recycled into new products. Our long term vision is to create a continuous loop without waste. (Nike, 2016) Nike has been very successful with this initiative and it shows that they care for the environments and the well-being of society as a whole. This point is derived from the fact that all the old trainers were being disposed of incorrectly and this led to an increase in landfill. Also, the burning of the rubber led to increased toxic gases being released into the atmosphere. Nikes decision to begin the Reuse-a-shoe initiative was a great one because it improved the regard with which the company was seen. In addition, their pledge to use sustainable, long-lasting materials designed for professional level performance has only further increased its popularity with millions of consumers around the world (Nike, 2016). Nikes swift action to try and reduce the impact that their old products had on the environment worked in their favour as Nike Grind is now well established and continues to boost the Nike brand image. In conclusion, yes, it is true that society and the environment is entrusted into the hands of public sector organisations and private business enterprises. These are regulated using accountability mechanisms. All companies are accountable in many ways. However, where VW failed in their legal, market and public reputational accountabilities due to their deceitful actions, Nike succeeded in their market and public reputational accountabilities by identifying and devising a way to fulfil its objectives whilst making a positive impact in many communities and society. While, VW fitted the defeat device to cheat emissions testing and eventually make more profit, Nikes outward thinking resulted in even more brand loyalty than they started out with. It simply demonstrates that accountability is an essential part of every organisation and when the accountability mechanisms fail, there are serious consequences. Bibliography Ekstrà ¶m, K.M.

Commercial Tourism

Tourism is an activity of visiting new places for the purpose of leisure. There is domestic or local tourism where people visit places in their own home country while in international tourism people visit other countries apart from their home country. The basic activity of tourism in the past years had been to see the wonder of nature and the aesthetic beauty of the natural environment and the different rich biodiversity that is unique to each and every country.However in the recent years the activity of tourism has taken a different course and people no longer visit places to see the natural environment but go to see the modern improvements characterized by commercial ego. This work will closely examine the commercialization of tourism in America and its influence on the American culture. The point of reference to a typical commercialization of tourism is the Mall of America that has over the years taken tourism to a different level. Tourism in the Mall of AmericaThe mall of America in Minnesota was established back in the year 1992 and is the largest undercover shopping center in the world. It occupies an area of 78 acres of land and has all types of business activities aimed for entertainment purpose. It has over 500 shops with Macy's Blooming dales, Nordstrom and the Sears which are giant American shops. This alone attracts millions of people every year to America and also the Americans who frequently visit the place more often than any tourist attraction sites like the national parks, game reserves and museums.There are nightclubs, restaurants, cinemas and children ride games. There is also a theme park inside the Mall called the Camp Snoopy that occupies seven acre space of land in the park and an underwater Aquarium that is a home for over 300,000 sea species that can be seen face to face by visitors. The mall is a commercial site as its entrance is free just like a market but individuals are charged on the services rendered inside the Mall. There is far much for the tourism that used to be in the world and America in particular.The people's culture has changed towards tourism and people nowadays are visiting modern sites designed with high level of technology to boost tourism in the Malls. The true definition of the culture of touring has completely been commercialized. In America for example, people prefer going to places with modern facilities for maximum comfort. This is demonstrated by the increase in the number of classic hotels surrounding the tourist attraction sites such as the beaches, national parks and other unique places with natural aesthetic.The improvement in modern technology has also contributed to the change of culture for the Americans. The effect of globalization has in particular influenced the theme of tourism in several parts of the world. The internet has been used intensively to advertise the different sites across the globe and most of them are aimed at the beautiful beach resorts and five star hotels nei ghboring the tourist sites which have given tourism a commercial perspective. In Minnesota, there are several tourism offers that have been favored through a partnership with the Malls of America.In the real sense the idea of tourism has been outdone by the luxurious modern facilities that have become a major concern for many people in the American culture. The people in America have changed their attitude towards touring in the natural environment in the preserved animal orphanage and prefer to visit modern Malls with a wide range of modern facilities as well as animals in special beautiful cages. People tend to tour to the places that have beautiful holiday packages.In most occasions, the holiday packages in the United States have been accompanied by several money making activities. The car hiring companies are in the increase in the name of tourism as well as credit vouchers for the luxurious Hotels in the city for tourists. Tourism is no longer a natural adventure; people often go for holiday in places with a variety of packages for maximum comfort during their holiday but not in a natural environment with a lot of adventure. The American's culture associated to tourism was initially a matter of adventure with nature.The visiting of the natural scenes in the wild has been taken by other adventurous activities such as mountain climbing activities, sporting activities such as skiing, skating which have a commercial attachment. However these changes might be changing with the culture of the Americans and the generations have taken different perspective of tourism (Melanie, 2006). Cuisine on the other hand has participated in the change and commercialization of tourism, the variety of foods in the American culture is a major attraction to the tourists in America.People in the US visit different websites to find an ideal package for their holiday in the worlds best tourist sites but the first consideration is the presence of the beautiful luxurious hotels to fi t for their holidays. The cuisine also advertised in the company of the tourism destination has a factor in the choice of the place of visit. Conclusion The American's culture has changed adversely in the world of tourism. These changes have come from the past love for the physical natural environment to modernism.The majority of the people in America are looking forward for a more comprehensive place to spend their holidays. The idea of modernized shopping malls, with modern lifestyles and modern food has been given preference over the natural biodiversity that is a major tourist attraction in most countries. As a result of this, several countries across the globe has designed modern tourist facilities in their countries to encourage tourists. The Malls of America is one of the best malls in the world and has tourism impact (Melanie, 2006).

Case Study Diamond Like Carbon - 1501 Words

6.5.2. Diamond-Like Carbon Diamond-like carbon (DLC), exhibits a number of properties similar to diamond. DLC is a family of amorphous carbon materials, existing in seven different forms that contain sp2 and sp3 hybridised carbon atoms. Sp2 refers to the graphite bonding structure, whilst sp3 refers to a diamond bonding structure. Graphite and diamond have very similar structures, but the bonding type differentiates them. By altering the ratio of sp2 to sp3 bonding and hydrogen content, different mechanical properties in DLC films are observed. Figure 6.26 shows a phase diagram illustrating different DLC coating structures and their bonding type. More sp2 bonding gives rise to films of lower hardness and abrasion resistance, but improved tribological properties. Films containing a higher proportion of sp3 bonding and less hydrogen have a tetrahedral structure similar tantamount to diamond, exhibiting high surface toughness but reduced ductility.56 The relative proportion of the two bonding types is highly depe ndent on the deposition method and processing parameters.57 Values of Young’s modulus have above 900GPa have been obtained.58 Nuclear magnetic resolution (NMR) and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS) are common techniques to characterise the hybridization of DLC films.59 Many potential applications exist due to the unique combination of properties DLC exhibits.
