演讲者声称，大众汽车拥有“最糟糕”的公司架构，将其决策过程比作“让你的宠物金鱼的排泄物在家庭决策中拥有最终话语权和投票控制权”。这种“差到极致的结构”的特点在于多种因素的结合：**家族所有权**（特别提到**保时捷集团**拥有过大的投票控制权）、**州政府所有权**和投票控制权，以及**散户和机构投资者**。 演讲者认为，这种错综复杂的安排阻碍了公司有效实现关键业务目标：把事情办成、适应变化，以及最终生存下来。因此，在他们看来，一家企业的结构不可能比大众汽车更糟糕了。

The speaker asserts that Volkswagen possesses the "worst possible" business structure, likening its decision-making process to "giving your pet goldfish's turds the final say and voting control in family decisions." This "worst possible structure" is characterized by a combination of factors: **family ownership** (specifically mentioning **the Porsche group** with outsized voting control), **state government ownership** and voting control, alongside **retail and institutional investors**. The speaker contends that such a convoluted arrangement prevents the company from effectively achieving critical business objectives: getting stuff done, adapting to change, and ultimately, surviving. Therefore, in their view, it is impossible for a business to be structured any worse than Volkswagen is.
