will she be like Carlos Ghosn at Nissan (phenomenal and successful leader), or like Michael Woodford at Olympus (obtuse, pathetic and disastrous failure), or like Howard Stringer at Sony (seemingly misplaced mediocrity)?

Seriously !?
A bean counter who now try to sabotage Renault
A guy stuck between a rock and a hardplace...
Sony guy... Don't know... But pretty sure he got it sodeways too...

That's borderline CJ level of journalism... Lots of bitter opinions...

This could be interesting but not sure if it will yield much.

Still laughing at "Eiko" as a male name...I know a male Madoka, Chiaki, and Masako as well. I never imagined how many Japanese names work both ways...

Indeed...but would be writing it as Eikoh if I were him.

Why? So as not to confuse the minuscule number of FG who would know the difference?

Maybe we should come up with alternative spellings of Kelly, Kim, Robin, Ashley, Shannon, Elisha, Jordan, etc. while we're at it.

True, I was viewing it from FG eyes.

Enko would be laughable...

Maybe replacing him with a female Casanova is a sign MuckDonald's is trying to tap into Kenfucky Tried Chicken's Christmas Eve love hotel business?

You may be the first person in history to accuse KFC of smelling like fried chicken.

Is this epic Japanese tofu burger better than a teriyaki burger?
