Carlos Ghosn, CEO, Nissan, Renault and Mitsubishi: Discipline and organization will lead you anywhere

Management & Organization professor Tim Hubbard was interviewed live on CNN about the chairman of Nissan’s arrest.

I think the board of directors, they really have a lot more independence, a lot more power to be able to, you know, push the CEO in a way that they need to be able to be pushed. And for example CEO dismissal I think is the ultimate way in order for a board of directors to start to impact those firms that they’re overseeing. And as time goes on, I’m hopeful that we’ll see more dismissals because I don’t think that there are very many other punishments that have quite the same esteem for a chief executive officer as being fired from their company.
