Week 2: Companies

This week we'll be looking at different types of companies and the issues facing them. To illustrate this issue we have selected two interviews with Carlos Ghosn, the CEO Renault-Nissan which show interesting insights into the complexities facing today's multi-national companies. One is a 12 minute video interview conducted by France 24 on the 28th January 2010 during the Economic World Forum in Davros and the other is an interview with Reuters published on the 25th February 2011.
