MUNICH/BERLIN—German engineering giant Siemens said a report by monthly Manager Magazin that it could cut 20,000 jobs as part of its Vision 2020+ strategy was “completely unfounded”.

“We do not follow the reasoning behind the figures named in the magazine article. No statements of this kind were made,” Siemens said on Aug. 24, adding that details of the new strategy were still being worked out.
