At France's Peugeot Citroën, Europe's second largest carmaker, Christian Streiff was appointed to succeed Jean-Martin Folz, 59, after he failed to reverse slumping sales. Streiff, 52, who has a reputation as a tough cost cutter, recently resigned as head of Airbus after just three months in the job.

Using the company's new "lean academy" philosophy (based on Toyota's manufacturing system), TXU can build all 11 coal-fired plants, cookie-cutter style, with the first online in 2009. Coal gasification simply isn't in TXU's plans, primarily because of problems with the high moisture content of the cheaper Texas and Wyoming coal it buys.
