使用德文不利於企業國際化，也會妨礙招募全球頂尖人才。
VAG人力資源長Karlheinz Blessing宣佈在未來，英文將成為福斯集團內部的官方語言。
這將有利於招募全球頂尖人才，也能增進集團內部高層經理人相互之間的溝通。
Blessing說，「多元化和具備國際經驗，這對管理(階層)日益重要。」

In the future, English will be VW Group's business language,
the automaker's personnel chief Karlheinz Blessing said in a statement.
The change should improve VW's ability to recruit international
top performers and also improve cooperation among the company's top managers.
"Diversity and international experience will be more important for management
than ever before," Blessing said.
福斯集團將鎖定那些具有更廣泛經驗的管理人才。
除此之外，福斯也會更優先考慮那些具備各種不同商業領域與不同品牌的外國職務經驗
和知識的人才。
福斯集團英文化的目標是藉此增進國際化、多元化，以及改變企業視野。
VW Group will be aiming for managers with a broader experience profile.
Among other things, greater priority will be given to foreign assignments
and knowledge gained in different business areas and brands.
"The objective is to foster internationality, diversity and a change of
perspective," the automaker said.

相較於賓士和BMW的總裁都能講一口流利的英文，還會用英文開會、談公事，
福斯集團總裁的英文一直都不好。前任CEO Martin Winterkorn英文很差，
現任CEO Matthias Mueller講英文也有點吃力。

可以聽得出來他英文講得有點吃力。

英文逐字稿
MUELLER: One reason could be a misunderstanding. One reason - another reason
could be that people and employees did their work not in the right way.
There are different possible reasons for that.
這段英文內容是Mueller講柴油造假案幾種可能的原因。
1. 美國政府可能誤會福斯了 (意指福斯沒做錯事)
2. 福斯員工們做錯事了。這會有多種可能的原因。
