...Nonaka's failed turnaround effort is a cautionary tale showing that, while going green may save the world, it may not save your business. With climate change and high oil prices in the headlines, corporations everywhere are rushing to show off their green credentials. But doing your bit to reduce carbon emissions is not the same as basing profits heavily on the sale of environmentally friendly products, a field that-niche-market successes such as the Toyota Prius hybrid car notwithstanding-has yet to reach critical mass...
...Ultimately, it was even harder to convince outside investors including Goldman Sachs and Daiwa Securities, which had sunk billions of dollars into a Sanyo turnaround, to be patient. The reality is that Sanyo, saddled with $14.7 billion in debt on Sept. 30, according to the company's most recent financial reports, only had the resources to restructure, not revolutionize.

But Romney made his name and fortune as a turnaround artist, and his is a party badly in need of a paint...
George W. Bush and his allies have always thought that, in hindsight, their February 2000 loss in the New Hampshire primary was a blessing in disguise. His turnaround following that defeat proved that the front-running Texas Governor didn't have a glass jaw, that he was more than a political heir relying on name recognition alone. Today it's John McCain, the man who handed Bush that defeat and is now the nominal G.O.P. establishment candidate in the 2008 Presidential election, who has to prove he can bounce back from a humbling early defeat...
