The now AbgelösteVolkswagen CEO Matthias Müller recently said to mirror that top management of largest europäischenAutomobilherstellers must be "female, younger Undinternationaler". This does not apply to Müller's NachfolgerHerbert this – even if he has an Austrian passport. This was born in Munich and only five years younger than his predecessor Müller, who celebrates his 65 birthday in June.
In Volkswagen leadership, nothing is likely to change with new boss. Zwarbetonte this at his first public appearance in a new function on Friday in front of journalists, he wants to leave new brand groups more personal responsibility in future. The groups are to combine Volkswagen, seat and Škoda Brands, premium brands Audi and Ducati and so-called super premium brands Porsche, Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini.
But this, of all people, is strongest group in mass brands, and thus assumes a double function in group. Observers such as car expert Ferdinand Dudenhöffer see this critically: The Personal union awakens with m memories of old times, to former VW CEO Martin Winter Korn and Ferdinand Piëch, to whom call was held, alone decision-makers with a tendency to Besserwissereizu.
A cost sink that came from BMWSuch a slope wirdDiess not be said. It is said that he demand a lot from his employees, some call him a "hard dog". It is also considered to be groundless and unvain. But doubts remain as to extent to which re is more freedom for brand groups.
After flight of this scandal and departure of winter corn, re was much talk of a necessary cultural change in Wolfsburg. Müller initiated him, InAbkehr from old system of command and obedience, which he had as an important Grundfür development of illegal shutdown devices in Abgasreinigungausgemacht. It is hardly possible to say how this is going to continue under this. The Handelsblatt quotes – anonymously – a suspicious VW top managers: "Müller standfür openness. This openness will end with this. "
In recent weeks, this has already positioned itself as most important man in VW group, for example when he sat in debate about diesel driving bans at Anne Will, and a Müller. It was already foreseeable that this would be its logical successor. Finally, he managed group's most important brand with VW, and he made this good from owner's point of view, because he succeeded in significantly increasing profit margin. In past Jahrbei, operating yield of VW was 4.1 percent. This is twice as high as 2014, year before this changed from BMW to VW.
Already at BMW Hattesich this proved to be a cost-conscious manager and refore recommended for job BeiVW. The car manufacturer in his hometown left this in Sommer2015 after BMW-Eignerfamilie Quandt decided in end of 2014 in battle for chief post for n Production director Harald Krüger, and precisely former Development Board .
