Part 2/6:
Ghosn believes that if the merger were to happen, it would present considerable challenges. He states that numerous conditions need to be met before any progress can be made. Notably, the CEO of Honda has indicated that any merger intentions will only proceed if Nissan demonstrates a successful turnaround plan, which remains uncertain.
Nissan currently faces a slew of difficulties as it attempts to reposition itself. Ghosn points out the minimal overlap between the two companies, suggesting that they are fundamentally "in complete dupe" of each other. The two corporations are known for their engineering prowess, yet the culture of pride among Japanese engineers could lead to significant management conflicts if they attempt to merge.
