New Siemens CEO Suggests Corporate Reorganization

西门子新任首席执行官建议企业重组

In his first public comments since formally becoming chief executive officer of Siemens AG on July 1, Peter Loscher said at a press conference in Germany yesterday that he intends to streamline the huge automation and engineering company's organizational structure and will present a plan to do so this fall.

在自7月1号正式成为西门子公司首席执行官以来的首个公开见面会上，Peter Loscher昨天在德国的一个新闻发布会上表示他计划简化这个巨大的自动化和工程公司的组织架构，并将在今年的秋天提交一份执行计划。

Loscher, who takes over as CEO in the wake of a bribery scandal that resulted in the departures of Klaus Kleinfeld, the former CEO, on June 29, and Heinrich von Pierer, the head of Siemens' Supervisory Board, said a reorganization is necessary to improve management oversight and the speed at which the company operates.

接任了前任CEO因贿赂丑闻而在6月29日离任的Klaus Kleinfeld的CEO职位的Loscher，以及西门子监事会主席Heinrich von Pierer，表示重组对于改善管理疏忽和加速公司在所涉及领域的发展很有必要。

Loscher, the twelfth person to become CEO of 160-year-old Siemens and the first outsider to hold the post, was introduced at the press conference by Siemens' new Supervisory Board Chairman Gerhard Cromme, a former CEO of ThyssenKrupp AG.

Loscher是西门子160年历史以来的第十二任首席执行官，也是第一位来自西门子外部的最高执行官，在新闻发布会上西门子的新任监事会主席、前ThyssenKrupp公司首席执行官Gerhard Cromme隆重介绍了Loscher。

"The Corporate Executive Committee will be scrutinizing the organization of the groups, the regional companies, and the tasks of the corporate units in detail," Loscher said, in a prepared statement. "In the fall, I'll present our conclusions to the Supervisory Board with these goals in mind: clear lines of responsibility, a high level of transparency, and maximum speed."

 Loscher在一份书面声明中表示：“企业执行委员会将详细审察集团组织、区域公司以及企业部门的任务。到秋季的时候，我将向监事会提交包含这些目标的计划结论：明确的责任路线、高透明度以及最大的速度。”

Siemens' 475,000 employees are organized into six major areas: Information and Communications, Automation and Control, Power, Transportation, Medical, and Lighting. In its fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2006, Siemens had sales from continuing operations of €87.3 billion.

西门子的47万5千名员工被分成六个主要领域：信息和通信，自动化和控制，能源，运输，医药，以及照明。在截至2006年9月30日的财年，西门子持续营收873亿欧元。

In outlining what he intends to do in his first 100 days, Loscher vowed to restore trust in the company and said that, in addition to examining Siemens' organizational structure, he will focus on the company's leadership culture, high-growth markets, innovation, the business portfolio, and compliance. He noted that he will continue the company's current strategic plan as devised under Kleinfeld, including the companywide program that was launched as Fit4More in April 2005 and succeeded by the Fit42010 initiative in April 2007.

在概括其任期的前100天内所计划做的事情时，Loscher发誓要修复人们对公司的信任，还表示，除了调查西门子的组织架构之外，他将把重点放在公司的领导文化、高增长市场、创新、业务范围、以及执法等方面。他表示其将继续目前的由Kleinfeld领导时提出的公司战略计划，包括在2005年4月颁布的Fit4More以及继后在2007年4月颁布的Fit42010整个公司范围内的计划。

Loscher said Siemens is looking for a head of compliance to replace Daniel Noa, who resigned in late June. The chief compliance officer will be an expert from outside the company with international experience, he said.

Loscher表示西门子正在寻找一位执法主管以接替在六月底辞职的Daniel Noa。他表示，首席执法官将是一位具有国际经验的公司外部专家。

Loscher also had some choice words regarding Siemens' corporate culture. "What we want and what we need is a team culture — fast and efficient teamwork," he said. He said he will soon visit Siemens groups, production facilities, and research laboratories carrying this message. After a trip to Austria, where he was born, he will visit China, India, and Japan, "where Siemens still has substantial unrealized potential," he said.

Losche还有一些关于西门子企业文化的措词。他表示：“我们所想和我们所要的是团队文化——快速而高效的团队工作。”他表示将很快访问西门子的集团、生产工厂和研究实验室来传播这一信息。在访问其出生地奥地利之后，他将前往中国、印度和日本，“西门子在这些国家仍有很大的潜力可挖，”Loscher说道。

Reaction to Loscher's comments from industry analysts in the United States and Germany today focused on the need to restore trust and the question of what form a corporate reorganization might take.

针对Loscher的说话，美国和德国的业界分析员今天把重点放在修复信任的必要和公司可能采取何种形式重组的问题。

Andy Chatha, president of ARC Advisory Group, said in an interview that the trust issue was paramount and that it extended both inside Germany and into other markets. "Siemens is rocking right now in terms of the business and the stock price, but he has to build trust with the German public, the unions, as well as globally with the foreign countries where the bribery occurred," Chatha said. "Kleinfeld was doing a terrific job, but board members felt he was too Siemens. They had to bring someone in from the outside."

ARC咨询集团总裁Andy Chatha在一个访谈中表示信任问题极为重要，它不但在德国国内，而且延伸到了其他市场。Chatha说道：“西门子在业务和股价方面现在已经开始采取行动，但是他（Loscher）必须与德国公众、欧盟以及全球其他发生了贿赂事件的国家建立起信任关系。Kleinfeld的工作做得不错，但董事会成员感觉他太西门子化了。他们必须从外面寻找一个人。”

David Humphrey, an ARC analyst in Germany, said in an e-mail exchange that he had expected Loscher to continue with Kleinfeld's reform plans. "In addition, there are rumors that he may simplify the company's organization in a restructuring that would go into effect on October 1, at the start of the next fiscal year. The new structure would consist of just three business units, one of which would be the Industrial Division."

ARC在德国的分析师David Humphrey在一份电子邮件交流中表示，他预计Loscher会继续Kleinfeld的改革计划。“此外，有传言说他（Loscher）可能简化公司的组织，在下一个财年开始的10月1号开始实施一项重组计划。新的架构可能仅由三个事业部组成，其中一个事业部可能是工业部。”

Humphrey noted that such a move would result in additional layers of management between Loscher and the company's current divisional structure. "But it would foster more cooperation and tap into those all-elusive synergies," he said. "My general feeling is that Loscher will leave the industrial units alone for a few years as they are all performing well, especially Automation and Drives."

Humphrey表示这样的举措将在Loscher和公司目前的部门架构之间产生新的管理层。”但是这将鼓励更多的合作以及把注意力集中于这些所有的协作中，“ 他说道。”我的总体感觉是 Loscher将保留工业部门几年，因为他们现在的表现都很好，尤其是自动化和驱动集团。“

Loscher, 49, had been president of Global Human Health at Merck & Co. Previously, he was at General Electric, from 2004 to 2006, serving as president and CEO of GE Healthcare Bio-Sciences (UK) and as a member of the Corporate Executive Council.

49岁的 Loscher此前是默克公司全球人类卫生总裁，之前的2004年至2006年，他还曾在通用电气医疗集团生物科学（英国）任总裁兼CEO，而且是企业执行委员会的成员之一。
