Elon Musk is under fire from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) yet again for his "reckless" use of Twitter regarding Tesla company updates. The SEC is currently questioning tweets the chief executive of Tesla sent out last month about the car company’s production levels. Musk says his tweets are covered by free speech. The SEC disagrees and wants him held in contempt for violating a 2018 settlement that restricts his social media posts regarding his company. In 2018 Musk got into trouble for falsely tweeting that he was taking his company private, which caused stocks to soar. This lead to the SEC settlement in which Tesla and Musk were each fined $20 million and he had to step down as chairman of the board. Host Dan Loney talks with John Paul MacDuffie, Management Professor at the Wharton School and Director of the Program on Vehicle and Mobility Innovation at The Mack Institute for Innovation Management, and Charles Elson, Director of the John L.

China is aggressively expanding its electric vehicle industry, with the aim of becoming a leader in the global automotive market.---China produces as many electric vehicles as the rest of the world combined, the result of aggressive government policies to boost EV demand and manufacturing.The push to electrify is part of China’s broader effort to control air pollution in its cities, where car ownership has risen dramatically. In a concerted effort, the government has invested heavily in the development of EV technologies, established sales quotas, and offered incentives to make EVs affordable. Today, China has also become the world’s dominant maker of EV batteries, the most valuable component in any electric car, and its global automotive ambitions have grown. John Paul MacDuffie of the Wharton School of Business takes a closer look at the ambitious environmental and industrial policies that have enabled the growth of China’s electric vehicle industry. He also discusses how China’s EV manufacturing scale, rooted in environmental policies, might upend traditional hierarchies in the global automotive industry.John Paul MacDuffie is Professor at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School of Business and Director of the Program on Vehicle and Mobility Innovation, a global automotive research consortium.Related Content:EVs Mean Growth for These Businesseshttps://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/blog/2018/11/02/evs-mean-growth-these-businesses The Case for Electrifying California’s Cars https://kleinmanenergy.upenn.edu/blog/2019/01/23/case-electrifying-californias-cars

We're featuring a series this month called “2019: A Look Ahead” and continue with a look at the future of the auto industry. In 2018, car makers announced the end of many lines of sedans and coupes to focus on more popular SUVs and trucks. Companies like Ford, General Motors and Toyota are looking to spend more resources on autonomous vehicles and electric cars. The companies are also dealing with rising interest rates and trade tariffs that impact steel prices as well as sales in China. If the disappointing reviews coming out of the motor city are a sign, 2019 could be a rough year for the auto companies. Host Dan Loney talks about these contributing factors with John Paul MacDuffie, Professor of Management at the Wharton School and Director of the Program on Vehicle and Mobility Innovation at Wharton's Mack Institute, and Paul Eisenstein, Publisher and Editor of TheDetroitBureau.com on Knowledge@Wharton.

Business Radio Special: The Great Recession: What's Changed in 10 years Part 2 About one in five workers in the U.S, lost their job in the beginning of the Great Recession and many of them never recovered. What has happened to the millions of people who settled for work below the level in which they were qualified, for less pay? With an improved unemployment number today at 4%, compared to the height of the recession when the unemployment rate peaked at 10 %, the wages are not catching up with the jobs. To look deeper at the impact of The Great Recession on the jobs market, we are joined by Wharton Professor of management PETER CAPPELLI, who is also Director of the Center for Human Resources, IWAN BARANKAY, Associate Professor of Management and Associate Professor of Business Economics and Public Policy at Wharton, and DAVID LEWIS, Professor Emeritus of Management, Human Resources and Organizational Behavior at the UCLA Anderson School of Management. Then, from January 2009 to December 2013 the U.S. government prevented two of the “Big Three” car companies from going bankrupt by using over $80 billion from the Economic Emergency Stabilization Act. General Motors Company and Chrysler LLC were owned by the taxpayers, leaving the Ford Motor Company on its own. Was this the right decision for a sector of an indicator of the health of the economy? We’ll look at the management changes in the past 10 years and future of the American auto industry as they face staying competitive in a growing fuel-efficient and autonomous vehicle market. We’re joined by JOHN PAUL MACDUFFIE ,
 Professor of Management at the Wharton School and Director of the Program on Vehicle and Mobility Innovation at Wharton's Mack Institute for Innovation Management, and PAUL EISENSTEIN
publisher and editor of TheDetroitBureau.com. Next, Wall Street has taken quite a ride over the last decade. It lost almost half of its value due to the Great Recession and by some estimates, over $2 trillion in retirement savings was lost by the end of 2008. The recovery has opened the markets to incredible growth, including the Dow Jones Industrial Average crossing the 26,000 mark, Nasdaq breaking the 8,000 point threshold and the S&P finishing at just under 29,000 last month. But investors are still wary in the stock market as we may soon undergo a significant correction. To look back, and peer into the short and distant futures, JEREMY SIEGEL, joins us. He is a Professor of Finance at the Wharton School. As is GAD ALLON, a Professor of Operations, Information and Decisions, at the Wharton School. Finally, when the Great Recession hit, some people pointed a finger at business schools, asking why the MBAs who caused the economic turmoil weren't taught character and accountability. Business schools have been teaching ethics for decades, but did the financial crisis change the way academic institutions, like The Wharton School, emphasize corporate responsibility and ethics? We’re joined by ERIC ORTS, a Professor of Legal Studies and Business Ethics at the Wharton School, STEPHEN ARBOGAST, Professor of Practice of Finance and Director of the Energy Center at the Kenan-Flagler Business School at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. And ANITA CAVA, a Professor in the Business Law Department at the University of Miami Business School and Co-Director of the University of Miami Ethics Programs.

Much of the conversation around drones over the past year has been focused on pushing public perception on them from toy to tool. What hasn't been the focus is how to best power these commercial drones. Lithium ion batteries were an easy first choice; they were commercially standard and accessible. But can they really elevate a drone to its full potential? On this podcast from the InterDrone trade-show floor, we were joined by Adam Schlender from Doosan Mobility Innovation, who explained how hydrogen fuel cell technology is the future of drone power. "You end up in a 10x efficiency gain, not looking at flight time, but looking at the amount of data that can be collected in a single flight," Schlender said. We dive into the inaccessible applications that fuel cells empower, their economic and ecological impact, and how to beat educate commercial drone users on the benefits and eventual necessity of improved flight time and diversified payloads.

La figura di Sergio Marchionne è stata controversa: per alcuni un genio da ammirare, per altri un nemico da combattere.Di sicuro il manager di Chieti ha segnato un'epoca per FIAT e per l'industria italiana: ne abbiamo parlato con Francesco Zirpoli, direttore del Center for Automotive and Mobility Innovation di Ca' Foscari.

This week we’re back at Michelin’s Movin On conference talking with Greg Rogers, Director of Government Affairs and Mobility Innovation of SAFE.  Greg talks about autonomous vehicle regulations around the country and some of the limits of techno optimism.  We also discuss a bit of what we liked and didn’t like at the Movin On conference and prospects for the future.

Mark is a transportation planning veteran, and he knew he wanted to work in mobility before mobility was even a term. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania where he studied Systems Engineering (specifically focused on transportation) he started his career as a Project Consultant for traffic engineering and geometric design. After spending almost a decade in Chicago working as a transportation consultant, he packed his bags and moved to Detroit. Currently, he works to improve in-city mobility for residents of Detroit, and I believe his work, is going to help turn the Motor City, into the Mobility City. This episode is part of the month of Mobility. We’re interviewing the top entrepreneurs, directors, and government officials in mobility to give you all a sense of what’s happening in Southeastern Michigan around car sharing, transportation, public transit, etc. ASHE Media Website: http://bit.ly/ashemediawebsite (http://bit.ly/ashemediawebsite) M2 FB Page: http://bit.ly/Mich

The electric vehicle market seems poised to take off, with high demand for Tesla’s Model 3 and growing attention from big automakers. Yet challenges that stalled EV growth in the past, namely sparse charging infrastructure and high costs, persist. A Wharton School expert looks at the role policymakers can take to support, or sink, the EV renaissance. --- Thanks for joining the Energy Policy Now podcast for our first episode of Season 2. These are exciting times for fans of electric vehicles. Tesla, the Silicon Valley electric car maker, recently introduced its long awaited, relatively affordable Model 3, complete with a huge order backlog. Also recently, the governments of France and the UK announced their goal to phase out the sale of new gas and diesel cars within a generation, opening the door to electrics. Yet in the US the electric vehicle market has looked poised for breakthrough in the past, only to disappoint. In the 1990s General Motors developed a promising electric car, the EV1, that it subsequently sought to erase from common memory. And a century ago, around the time that Henry Ford introduced the Model T, electric cars were common. Yet they ultimately all but disappeared. John Paul MacDuffie, an expert on EV policy at the Wharton School, takes a look at policies that might help electric cars stick this time around, and at innovative government interventions that are already fueling EV markets abroad. John Paul MacDuffie is a professor of Management at the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, and Director of the Program on Vehicle and Mobility Innovation, an international research consortium focused on the global automotive industry.
