I am not sure I agree with this sentiment. Nissan is the company collapsing before our eyes, not Honda, therefore if any sembelemce of Nissan is going to survive, the C-Suite of Nissan will have to be dismantled. Trying to appease a failed C-Suite would lead to the same debacle that happened at Boeing. A company once known for innovation and high quality planes basically reduced to rubble all because they appeared the McDonald Douglas C-Suite. A joint venture will still have a ton of conflicts and ego driven issues so that would make no sense for Honda. Also, Nissan does not have time to see the fruits of their labor from a joint venture. Action must be taken immediately otherwise not only will the CEO lose his job, but thousands of other workers as well. Workers who won't get access to a golden parachute like the Nissan C-Suite will.
