Panasonic: The Largest Corporate Restructuring in History
Here are some noteworthy reviews of McInerney's Panasonic:
- "An enthralling story of regeneration. It shows that, if a brand has a noble history, then - in skillful hands - it has every chance for a glorious future."
— Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO of WPP
- "This interesting and enjoyable read encapsulates how new technologies
are reshaping managerial thinking which, in turn, is transforming how
some of the world's largest corporations operate. Francis continues to
bring clear insight and a cross- industry perspective to make sense out
of what many only make nonsense."
— Jeffrey D Montgomery, GMT Communications Partners III LLP
- "Panasonic puts a Rembrandt portrait face on the Japanese corporation, with depth of character, extraordinarily subtle nuances, and brilliant detail."
— Dan Burstein, author of Yen!
- "Transformation is no guarantee for success. However, if you understand the drivers, it may work. This time it did: both for the company as for the readers a fascinating experience" —Ben Verwaayen, CEO BT Group
- "The story of the turnaround at Matsushita is a hopeful road map for the Japanese business community. I particularly enjoyed the irony of a Canadian-American consultant invoking the historic teachings of founder Konosuke Matsushita to enable his charismatic successor to unchain an organization bound by its own tradition." —Steve Halstedt, Chairman, Centennial Ventures
- "What makes Francis McInerney’s book such an absorbing read is that he asks the really big questions – and answers them with, in essence, a really simple formula. A must read for any one with a stake, an interest, or a dream in Japan – or for that matter in America."
—Robert Crozier, Publisher, Forbes Global
