>Opinion: If I was running both Ford Motors and the Ford Foundation, I'd be telling CR that I wanted 100%-unvarnished-truth reviews and ratings of Ford Motors products from them. Because done-right data from CR would be a ~99%-independent check on what my underlings at Ford Motor were telling me. (And, yes, cheating in Ford's favor would be damn likely to turn into a disastrous scandal.)
Right, but you probably wouldn't want the bad stuff published.
- bell-cot 3y ago"wouldn't want the bad stuff published" meaning that I'd feel unhappy when there was bad news about Ford Motor? True. But there are half a bazillion places in the modern world where bad news about Ford Motor could originate. I'd have to be either a pathetic man-child or a control-freak mental case to think that somehow preventing CR from publishing a bit of that would give a probable net positive outcome, longer-term, for Ford Motor Co.
- Clubber 3y ago>meaning that I'd feel unhappy when there was bad news about Ford Motor? True. No meaning you have good data to improve your company, that's the benefit to you. Publishing said data, particularly if you haven't improved on the data wouldn't benefit you. >I'd have to be either a pathetic man-child or a control-freak mental case to think that somehow preventing CR from publishing a bit of that would give a probable net positive outcome, longer-term, for Ford Motor Co. Or have shareholders.
