The World-Acclaimed Cost Killer: He took on the most challenging corporate restructuring in history and, within a few years, steered the brink-of-bankruptcy Nissan Motor from the brink of collapse to become the world's most profitable car company. This globallying achievement, along with his effective cost control and the successful "cross-departmental team"-focused rescue strategy for ailing companies, has been dubbed the "Ghosn Management Model" by economists and has become a vital reference for studying corporate revitalization.
The Reformer of "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword": In just three years, he brought a completely despairing massive company back to life, reviving hope in the Japanese economy, which had been in decline for over a decade. In the process, he became a national icon in a Japanese society that had long been resistant to foreign culture. In the 150-year history of Japan, only three individuals have had such a transformative impact on the society: Commodore Perry of the United States in 1853, General Douglas MacArthur in 1946, and today, Carlos Ghosn.
A Global Citizen of the Automotive Industry: Born in Brazil, with French nationality and Lebanese heritage, Ghosn is fluent in five languages. He has experienced the corporate world across all continents, including stints at international giants like Michelin, Renault, and Nissan, and has thus outlined the new talent trends of the 21st century—global citizens. Carlos Ghosn is the renowned CEO of the world-famous companies Renault and Nissan. This book details the management intricacies behind his success as the "Cost Killer," his rapid and effective rise to prominence, and his hands-on experience in helping Michelin, Renault, and Nissan overcome operational crises. It comprehensively presents Ghosn's management model and business philosophy, as well as his personal charisma and the inner factors behind his success.
This is not only a compelling biography of Ghosn but also a management bible for the "Cost Killer," and an outstanding textbook for contemporary success.
