...Brand-new at the InterContinental Hong Kong hotel is Spoon, tel: (852) 2721 1211, the latest restaurant by Alain Ducasse, who has nine Michelin stars to his name.

Born in Brazil of Lebanese parents and educated in France's elite engineering schools, the charismatic, bushy-browed, nattily dressed Ghosn is the quintessential global executive. He earned his reputation as a turnaround artist at Michelin, which dispatched him to fix ailing operations in South America and then gave him the job of restructuring Michelin North America after it bought Uniroyal in 1990. By the time Renault hired him and sent him to Tokyo to fix Nissan (which Renault controls), he had picked up five languages (Japanese is his sixth), a blunt decision-making style and a knack for blending...
...constantly restructuring and I am pretty confident in that area." While Ericsson has been a world leader in designing technology, it has managed manufacturing processes poorly, according to Svanberg. A small, very high-tech portion of the business - customized products for a select group of clients - is like a Michelin-starred restaurant, he says, with a skilled chef and planned menu, while the rest is churning out uniform products. "If you make hamburgers in a Michelin-starred restaurant, you'll find they are more expensive and less tasty than McDonald's," he says...
