Zetsche To Continue Leading Mercedes Car Group

In an article published yesterday, Forbes is reporting that Dieter  
Zetsche, incoming head of Daimler Chrysler AG, will remain in charge  
of the Mercedes Car Group, at least until Mercedes is back on track.

When asked by the Bild am Sonntoag newspaper how long he planned on  
maintaining the two positions, Zetsche responded by saying: "...to  
begin with, without a time limit - at least until Mercedes is once  
again well under way... but even beyond that, there is no fundamental  
necessity to separate the two tasks."

To be honest, the move really doesn't surprise me.  The more  
management shuffling that takes place, the worse things usually get.   
What's that old saying my grandma used to tell me?  Oh yes, I  
remember - "Too many cooks spoil the broth."  How true indeed.
