Quote from cynical europeans What nonsense you make of yourself. First and foremost, the starting point is completely different: on the one hand, a corporation that suffers significantly from structural change and has been only circling for years, on the other hand, a vigorous corporation that can barely run from success. Daimler will not be hollowed out and end up as a void, where did you get the nonsense from? Daimler is similar to VW – a parent company (VW) with several daughters who belong to it, but otherwise have their own discretion (Porsche, Audi, Skoda, etc.). Are those just any covers? Why is this done? Because, as you may have missed out on, the car industry is undergoing a far-reaching change and it is calculated to be more flexible and agile with the new structure. What fits for the one (eg partnership of the car division) does not have to fit for the whole group (eg truck). If only cars then enter the negotiations, that is certainly faster and easier to agree. The group is still in the back. Incidentally, the division is de facto already there today, Daimler Financial Services is already independent today. Your tirade against “supposed” pension funds (how can they be supposed to be?) And Co is fed more by ignorance and fear than by knowledge. Just one example of their twisted logic: pension funds in particular are not interested in quick profits … they are looking for long-term investments because – drumroll – pension payments are long-term commitments. Just deal with the matter, then it loses its terror.
It was similar with Siemens and Thyssen Krupp. Also there were always more demands for splitting the company from the side of “investors” come. More and more parts of the company are listed as individual companies or closed due to insufficient profits. The lousy role of investors is frighteningly visible in many companies, whether hedge funds or pesion funds or what these grasshoppers may be called does not matter. These investors are all about quick and highest profits. Longer-term considerations are not to be expected from them.
With the restructuring of Daimler and the dismissals of the CEO and CFO, there seems to be a danger of an ever greater influence on these greed investors and the later destruction of the company. Then Daimler expects a similar fate as Siemens and Thyssen Krupp, namely the breakup to short-term maximum profit realization.
