Porsche vs. Volkswagen

Em estrada, um Porsche bate facilmente um Volkswagen. E no mundo das empresas? Esta é uma corrida a acompanhar.
Porsche’s request for a €1.75 billion ($2.5 billion) loan from a state-controlled bank in Germany was turned down. The carmaker is now looking at “alternative financing possibilities”, which may include an investment from the state of Qatar. Porsche ran up €9 billion in debt when it accumulated a stake in Volkswagen in an abortive takeover. Hammering out a merger has become increasingly acrimonious as the controlling Porsche and Piëch families try to determine who will ultimately be in charge. (The Economist, 2 de Julho de 2009)
