Piëch crashes Volkswagen in turmoil – THE WORLD

From Ferdinand Piech says that he knows the business no friends, only companion. And as Martin Winterkorn, now separate the paths of the two. The Piëch has made it clear unambiguous. Whether it is appropriate, a close colleague and successful over the years by CEO Interview to withdraw confidence, will not be discussed here. Because then it would be a question of good tone and respect of style. Sticking to the business – but even if we limited ourselves to the procedure Piëch is simply puzzling

If the Porsche grandson has the impression that the. VW Group needs a new CEOs, it is legitimate that he initiates appropriate action. Ferdinand Piëch is Chairman and by far the main shareholder of Volkswagen AG. It is part of the company’s founder family, he has set as chief executive of the foundation stone for the worldwide success of the car manufacturer.

Now it was his task has been achieved to preserve and enhance. This includes the careful selection of the key executives and concern for stable conditions within the Group. Trying to hunt Winterkorn so by the Court to the contrary thereof. It may be true that Volkswagen has constructed Winterkorn one or the other problem – but now Piëch is one of them

For who almost ousted the CEO without. having agreed with the rest of the family, in this case, the Porsches, the influential works council and the anchor shareholder Lower Saxony must expect hard headwind. And who cuts the incumbent to have built without a successor, brings a group in turbulence.

Piëch is a sprawling mess meet only when he quickly agreed with the other power holders in the company and presents a new chief executive – or back-pedaling. As things stand now, it is certainly unlikely that Winterkorn last until the end of his term. So far, Piëch has prevailed in every struggle for power.

The question remains, why Piëch has chosen a horrible end. Why he will not tolerate that the success Manager Winterkorn fulfilled his contract, which expires in 2016 anyway. Why he does not want to go the way of an orderly transition. Answers to these questions will probably be only in a small circle. But basically the entire public has a right to it.

In this group, a small group like the final decisions are taken, but here it is Volkswagen. A company with 600,000 employees, a company whose weal and woe is crucial for Germany. The whole country has a legitimate interest in ensuring that Volkswagen prevail stable conditions.
