“Wealth Management Crisis aat UBS” (see file attached)
Questions:
1.In your opinion, to what extent did the government and national culture play in the scandal? And to what extent did corporate culture contribute to the scandal?
2.Without the Global Financial Crisis, do you think the scandal would have been reasonably uncovered, or would they have lingered? If yes/no, please explain.
3.Does it matter who or what entities could have been impacted by the scandal? What if net/net there were no losses incurred?
4.In your opinion, is the next scandal already underway, and are we just waiting for the next recession to find out what is currently going on? Please explain.

1. Based on the “Wealth Management Crisis at UBS,” my opinion is that the government and national culture of Switzerland, the U.S. Treasury, and some corrupt governments around the world, played a major role in aiding the tax fraud scandal committed by more than 52,000 U.S. residents.

The extent to which the corporate culture of UBS also contributed to the scandal is that the bank continued to help these U.S. residents to hide billions of dollars in untaxed assets.  Why should the bank deliberately hide accounts for U.S. residents?

2. The global financial crisis between 2007 and 2009 helped in uncovering the secret accounts and tax fraud scandal because its challenges encouraged the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) decided to investigate the tax frauds committed by foreign account holders.

The implication is that without the global financial crisis, the investigations that uncovered the tax fraud would not have been initiated by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) soon.

3. It matters to the entities that could have been impacted by the scandal.  For instance, the U.S. Treasury was being deprived of hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes, according to the report.

Without the bailment from the Swiss government, UBS would have collapsed.  Many account holders would have lost their savings in the process.

There is no way no losses would not have been incurred if the scandal continued.

4. Importantly, we are not supposed to wait for the next global recession to uncover similar financial scandals and tax frauds around the world.

Thus, tax havens, like the UBS, must come under rigorous investigations from time to time.  Such regular investigations would deter would-be tax fraudsters and assets looters from committing to hiding their accounts.

Nike’s Goddess
Could a famously masculine company finally click with female customers? That was the challenge behind Nike Goddess, whose goal was to change how the company designed for, sold, and communicated with women.
In its 30-year history, Nike had become the undisputed leader in sports marketing. But beneath the success was an Achilles’ heel. Nike is named after a woman – the Greek goddess of victory – but for most of its history, the company had been perceived as being mostly about men. Could Nike do more to realize the full potential of female customers? And how could it afford not to, given the threats to its future with Air Jordan running out of air and brands like Skechers digging into the teen market with shoes inspired by skateboarding, not basketball. That was the huge question at Nike HQ. The launch of Nike Goddess was the makings of an answer.
Just Doing It Differently
For much of its history, Nike’s destiny was controlled by its founders, Phil Knight and his running buddies, who signed up athletes in locker rooms and made the executive decisions. But by throwing together a diverse team of people with different backgrounds and different levels of seniority, Nike has found that it can keep many of its core attributes while adding new sources of inspiration. Take the combination of star designer John Hoke and newcomer Mindy Grossman, vice president of global apparel. Hoke designed the look and feel of the first Nike Goddess store. Then Grossman, whose career has included helping make Ralph Lauren into a retail icon, pitched1 the design ideas to Nike’s top retailers as stores within stores. Now it looks like Nike has a chance to reach a crucial objective: double its sales to women by the end of the decade.
How to Sell to Women
Nike Goddess began as a concept for a women-only store, and there’s a reason why. Many of the retail settings in which the company’s products were found were a turnoff to female customers: dark, loud, and harsh – in a word, male. In sharp contrast, the Nike Goddess stores have the comforting feel of a woman’s own home.
How to Design for Women
Designing a new approach to retail was only one element in Nike’s campaign. Another was redesigning the shoes and clothes themselves. Nike’s footwear designers worked on 18-month production cycles – which made it hard to stay in step with the new styles and colors for women. The apparel group, which worked around 12-month cycles, was better at keeping up with fashion trends. But that meant that the clothes weren’t coordinated with the shoes – a big turnoff 2 for women.
How to Talk to Women
When Jackie Thomas, Nike’s US brand marketing director for women, first heard the phrase ‘Nike goddess,’ she wasn’t impressed. ‘I don’t like talking to women through gender,’ she says. Nike Goddess had to mean something to women and it was her job to make that happen. ‘Women don’t need anybody’s permission. We are at our best when we are showing women a place where they didn’t think they could be.’ For John Hoke, the real power of Nike Goddess is not about traffic at stores. It’s about changing minds inside the company. ‘I knew that Goddess could galvanise3 us,’ he says, ‘It was an opportunity to redefine and re-energies our entire brand around a market that was taking off.’
