Kobe Steel Works is a large steel manufacturer in Japan. In June 20 17, the company admitted that from June 20 16 to August 20 17, the inspection method was changed and the data on the quality certificate was modified to meet the high standard requirements of customers for steel products. After this fraud was exposed, it had a serious impact on the company's reputation and business.
This incident mainly illustrates two problems. First, the lack of corporate responsibility. As a large enterprise, Kobe Steel Works should understand that its actions will have an important impact on society. You should be responsible for the quality of your own products, not get short-term economic benefits by counterfeiting. This incident shows that even a small fraud may have a great impact on the whole industry and society if the enterprise is not responsible enough.
Secondly, there are loopholes in government supervision. The government should supervise and manage the behavior of enterprises to ensure that they comply with relevant laws and standards. However, this incident shows that if there are loopholes in government supervision, enterprises may have misconduct. Therefore, the government needs to strengthen supervision to ensure that the behavior of enterprises conforms to social expectations and legal provisions.
In short, this incident shows the importance of the lack of corporate responsibility and the loopholes in government supervision. Enterprises need to consciously abide by the regulations, and the government also needs to strengthen supervision to protect public interests and social stability.
