Siemens Bribe Claims & Stakeholder/Reputation Impact
OVERVIEW: Siemens is a financially stong, diversified company that makes everything from car navigation systems to locomotives to dishwashers: $28 billion in revenue and close to a half-million employees. However, charges of $570 million worth of bribes in late 2006 has led to investigations that continue and recently forced out two top executives.
RESEARCH QUESTIONS:

- Are Siemens’ consumer brands affected at all? More adversely due to awareness? Or is this islotated to those businesses where the alleged bribes took place?
- What’s the stakeholder impact, particularly government officials, employees and shareholders? more
