Review: Marchionne lo straniero

Marchionne lo straniero Marchionne lo straniero by Paolo Bricco
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

For a biography on Marchionne this book has relatively little on Marchionne. It is still a very interesting book, however, detailing the journey of Fiat and Chrysler during Marchionne's tenure, as well as plenty of background information (Torino, the Agnelli family, etc.) and also quite a bit of info on all the "side" deals, whether successful or not (Opel, GM, moving the head office to the Netherlands, etc.). Talks with unions are also discussed in details, including comparisons (and contrasts) between Italian and American unions.

As I mentioned, a very thorough book, with almost no biographical information on Marchionne (aside from the fact that he was born in Italy and moved to Canada in his teens).
