[QUOTE="Infosaur, post: 10390467, member: 21774"]Well yeah, exactly. Except that instead of removing him through the board room they trumped up some charges. There's something of a bit of nationalism at work here as well. Ghosn was about to put the company further under the thumb of European quasi-national conglomerates (remember, the French government has a 15% voting share.) and Nissan wanted no part of it. I'm sure other JDM (Japanese Domestic Manufacturers) also backed the move. (The highest echelon of Japanese businesses are rather chummy, they all play at the same golf course, so to speak.) they wanted to make a statement, Japan Inc. is not for sale. And while I sorta agree with the sentiment, this is really a shot fired round the world in international business. Or would be if it wasn't for all the other news crowding the headlines. I'm kinda curious to see how this plays out. (BTW, I don't really think the Japanese really care about Ghosn, it's much more about foreign takeover of their #3 automaker.)[/QUOTE]
