Named one of the Best Business Books of 2021 by The Wall Street
Journal 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, Collision Course 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. This gripping,
unforgettable narrative, full of fascinating characters, serves as
part cautionary tale, part object lesson, and part forewarning of
the increasing complexity of doing global business in a
nationalistic world.
