Esta es la saga de lo que condujo al Shock de Ghosn y lo que dejó tras de sí. Ghosn pasó dos décadas construyendo una colosal asociación entre Nissan y Renault que parecía un nuevo modelo para un negocio global, pero la brillante imagen de la alianza se encontraba al frente de una operación inestable y tensa. Los choques culturales, las luchas internas entre ejecutivos e ingenieros, los duelos entre tradiciones corporativas y las maniobras gubernamentales amenazaban constantemente la empresa. Con un reportaje experto, explora las complejas sospechas en torno a qué y quién fue el verdadero responsable de la destitución de Ghosn y por qué uno de los principales ejecutivos del mundo lo arriesgó todo para escapar del país. Explica cómo la economía, la historia, los intereses nacionales, la política cultural y la arrogancia colisionaron, haciendo que se desmoronara el legado del que posiblemente sea el empresario extranjero más importante que haya pisado Japón.// In Japan it's called the "Ghosn Shock"—the stunning arrest of Carlos Ghosn, the jet-setting CEO who saved Nissan and made it part of a global automotive empire. Even more shocking was his daring escape from Japan, packed into a box and put on a private jet to Lebanon after months spent in a Japanese detention center, subsisting on rice gruel. This is the saga of what led to the Ghosn Shock and what was left in its wake. Ghosn spent two decades building a colossal partnership between Nissan and Renault that looked like a new model for a global business, but the alliance's shiny image fronted an unsteady, tense operation. Culture clashes, infighting among executives and engineers, dueling corporate traditions, and government maneuvering constantly threatened the venture. Journalists Hans Greimel and William Sposato have followed the story up close, with access to key players, including Ghosn himself. Veteran Tokyo-based reporters, they have witnessed the end of Japan's bubble economy and attempts at opening Japan Inc. to the world. They've seen the fraying of keiretsu, Japan's traditional skein of business relationships, and covered numerous corporate scandals, of which the Ghosn Shock and Ghosn's subsequent escape stand above all. Expertly reported, explores the complex suspicions around what and who was really responsible for Ghosn's ouster and why one of the top executives in the world would risk everything to escape the country. It explains how economics, history, national interests, cultural politics, and hubris collided, crumpling the legacy of arguably the most important foreign businessman ever to set foot in Japan.
