    Abby Falik at Global Citizen Year

    Abby Falik, founder and CEO of Global Citizen Year (GCY), quickly read through the most recent news updates regarding the Ebola crisis in West Africa as she prepared for her board call on July 31, 2014. Based in Oakland, California, GCY was a five-year-old not-for-profit with a fiscal year (FY) 2015 budget of $3.5 million. Its mission was to make it much more the norm for graduating high school students in the U.S. to choose a "bridge year." GCY believed this experience after high school, but before college, would help students build self-awareness, learn about the world, and develop grit. In turn, GCY felt these attributes laid the foundation for success in college, and beyond.

    Sergio Marchionne at Chrysler

    Rob Kaplan and Bernardo Bertoldi

    Chrysler recently exited from the bankruptcy process, with U.S. government support and with Sergio Marchionne as CEO. Now was the time to work out how to create synergies with FIAT, how to improve the current manufacturing, product, and distribution-network configuration, and how to define the future product portfolio to compete over the long term.
    In 2004, Marchionne was appointed CEO of FIAT Group, headquartered in Turin, Italy, when the company had faced a near-hopeless crisis. He performed an extreme makeover and turned the company around. In 2008 the entire global automotive industry had entered a deep crisis; in response FIAT and Chrysler had forged a partnership, and Marchionne now found himself in the same situation again.

    Keywords: auto industry; Insolvency and Bankruptcy; Auto Industry; North America; Italy;
