Assignment:
There are numerous articles that deal with legal and ethical pitfalls related to misinterpretation, lack of reliability and validity of data. We are all aware of the popular usage of references and resources chosen not for their own unquestionable authenticity and validity but rather chosen to support a specific leaning, point of view, or action. The adage about using statistics in any way one wants emphasizes the frequency of data mishandling.
Reviewing scandals of our recent corporate past and please answer the following:
1. How did the company you have researched use or misuse data to support their decisions?
2. What were the results of this mishandling?
