Abstract
Senior executives of Nissan and Renault are considering a major investment in Nissan by Renault. An important consideration is whether a major restructuring of Nissan's operations will be possible, given the value placed on lifetime employment and the impact on communities. Also of concern is the likely decrease in commitment to restructure once the equity investment has been made.
