Chairman Carlos Ghosn of Nissan Motor is arrested for under-reporting about five billion yen of his earnings.
There was such shocking news.

And the topic of Plus One! tonight is ...
“What is the influence of the arrest of the charismatic executive?”

I asked Commentator Miyajima Kasumi of the Economic Division of NTV who had experience interviewing Chairman Ghosn.

Sakurai 
“What is the accomplishment of Chairman Ghosn who is called the ‘charismatic executive’?”

Commentator Miyajima
“When he assumed office, he recovered Nissan, which had been in great trouble with lots of debts, in a V-shape in rapid momentum.
There were not so many Japanese companies with such large-scale which would call for overseas executives and hand over such great power.
There was a feeling that Nissan was forced to realise that this is the way of management.”

Sakurai
“Please tell us what kind of person Chairman Ghosn is based on your experience of interviewing him.”

Commentator Miyajima
“Chairman Ghosn is energetic, he speaks fast, and makes decision quickly. He is a reasonable person.
He talked to reporters in a very bright and frank manner.
However, since he was a smart person seen from everyone,
there is doubt about the allegation this time that he was simply keeping a lie.”

Suspect Ghosn who concentrates power and had unifying power in Nissan for long years is arrested.
It is said that the influence of such big pillar collapsing is indeed huge.

Commentator Miyajima
“I think that it is very important how the remaining management team explains this matter to the employees.”

Sakurai
“I think that, in one way, Chairman Ghosn has also driven the economy of Japan with his bold restructuring and management reform.
What is the impact of the arrest on the economy of Japan?”

Commentator Miyajima
“The existence of Chairman Ghosn was a model of overseas professional executives coming to Japan and bolding changing the management.
If thing turns the other way, it would become like this.
There is possibility that doubts will arise for this form of management reform.
Recently, there are also rising problems of malpractice of Japanese corporates,
there is a possibility that the doubt whether this is the problem of only one corporate spreads in the market.”

The arrest of the top executive of motor maker which is significant not only in Japan but also in the world.
The aftermath is likely to expand in the future.
