Introduction Toyota Motor Corporation(TMC) is a multinational automaker headquartered in Toyota, Aichi, Japan. It was established on August 28, 1937 (UKEssays, 2013).Toyota employed 317,734 people worldwide and was the world’s largest automobile manufacturer in 2012 by production. Toyota is also the ninth largest company in the world by revenue (Tumwebaze, 2012). It makes vehicles under its own brand name. Toyota vehicles are popular for their longevity and reliability, quality, engineering and value. It also has a large market share in America and Europe even in South-East Asian countries. Toyota has a lot of choices for their cartypes, such as Sedan, MPV, SUV, and many more. In Toyota Motor Corporation group companies included Toyota, Lexus, Daihatsu and Hino Motors along with several “non-automotive” companies. Volkswagen Group, also called Volkswagen AG, is the major German automobile manufacturer. It was founded by Deutsche Arbetsfront (German Labour Front) in 1937 to mass-produce a low-priced “people’s car (Encyclopaedia Britannica, n.d.).” The headquarters of the company located in Wolfsburg, Germany. Volkswagen employed 642,000 people worldwide andwas the largest automaker by worldwide sales in 2016. It manufactured both commercial and passenger vehicles under the brand names Scania, MAN and Volkswagen. Thus, there were several commercial car brands for the company such as Bentley, Porsche, Lamborghini and Audi. In the unethical case in Toyota, they featured a lot of defect safety parts such as airbags and the door locks in their vehicles. By doing this, Toyota put their consumers’ life in risk and at last the consumers lost the faith in Toyota. Airbags is the most important things in the vehicles because when the driver was involved in a car crash, the airbags might be able to save his/her life. In the unethical case in Volkswagen, they involved in the diesel emission scandal. They did this by installing a “defeat device” which was a cheating software to lie to the American regulator (Gates et al., 2018). The customers of Volkswagen felt like they were cheated by the
