  • Michelin: Socially Responsible Industrial Restructuring (Research Report)
    Michelin: Socially Responsible Industrial Restructuring (Research Report) Professor Sandra J. Sucher and Research Associate Susan J. Winterberg* Introduction This report describes Michelin’s approach to socially responsible industrial restructuring.a The report was designed to serve two purposes—documentation and learning. The report provides documentation of Michelin’s practices in socially responsible industrial restructuring and contains an agreed upon description of Michelin’s planned, integrative, and humanistic approach. The report was also written as an opportunity for learning for Michelin’s leaders. The report traces the evolution in planning and practices that Michelin has used to conduct socially responsible restructuring over time. The resulting picture is both a view from the inside—told in the words and through the actions of Michelin’s managers—and a view from the outside—incorporating the reactions of stakeholders to Michelin’s restructuring approaches in various situations. Hopefully, it helps Michelin’s leaders assess where they have been and where they are headed in their evolving journey in socially responsible industrial restructuring.
