NissanShift: Inside Nissan's Historic RevivalWhen Carlos Ghosn was named COO of Nissan in 1999, the company was running out of gas and careening toward bankruptcy. Eighteen short months later, Nissan was back in the black, and within several more years it had become the most profitable large automobile company in the world. In Shift, Carlos Ghosn describes how he went about accomplishing the seemingly impossible, transforming Nissan once again into a powerful global automotive manufacturer.The Brazilian-born, French-educated son of Lebanese parents, Carlos Ghosn first learned the management principles and practices that would shape his decisions at Nissan while rising through the ranks at Michelin and Renault. Upon his arrival at Nissan, Ghosn began his new position by embarking on a three-month intensive examination of every aspect of the business. By October 1999 he was ready to announce his strategy to turn the company around with the Nissan Revival Plan.

His achievement is all the more astonishing because he did it as a Westerner operating in Japan's closed, tradition-bound business environment.In Turnaround, business journalist David Magee presents the first behind-the-scenes look at Carlos Ghosn, his management methods, and his role as the leader of a new generation of global business managers. Turnaround reveals how he remade Nissan by defying the business and cultural taboos that in the past have stifled the economy in Japan; how he cut costs, smashed Nissan's Keiretsu relationships, and revived the company's design innovation, quality standards, and product.
