Ciao Gianni, but now what?

Article Abstract:

The recent retirement of Gianni Agnelli as chairman of leading Italian industrial conglomerate Fiat has come after several years of struggling within the Agnelli family and within the corporate structure of the company. For a long time, the Agnellis were determined to retain control over the company, and the question of a successor was extremely sensitive. Against this background, the decision to hand over to Cesare Romiti has been particularly difficult, as he holds very different views from those of the Agnelli family.
