Toyota Panel makes its recommendations for changes in global management structures
03/01/2010
Reforms and restructuring after the 2010 recalls. The Toyota panel said there needs to be one executive responsible for the entire U.S. operation. Before the crisis in vehicle safety Toyota had separate engineering, sales and production operations, but no head of the entire U.S. operation. Honda and Nissan have a head of U.S. operations. Another problem the panel sees is the insularity of the Japanese headquarters management. It recommends foreign directors be appointed to the board. Even after the safety crisis and a change in management structure to a smaller board, the lack of foreign directors remains a serious unaddressed problem.

Plans to change the board to have fewer directors- closer to 12 compared to 27 today- so that discussions can be carried on at the highest level and lead to speedy decisions. A similar change was made at Honda Motor.

GM (General Motors) Management -pre-2010
03/04/2008
General Motors Management. Questions raised in the media. Is it too homogenous, too think alike. Are there different opinions and perspectives and ideas exisitng in middle and upper management and is diversity of opinion respected? Is the Board of Directors also too homogenous and think alike? And does it also bring different perspectives? Is there young blood in management and in the Board or is it like a place with tenure.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
