Vol. 16, Issue 1 Guts The Seven Laws of Business That Made Chrysler the World's Hottest Car Company By: Robert A. Lutz 256 pp. John Wiley & Sons 1998 Review by: Lydia Morris Brown

Chrysler, having been saved just a decade before with the aid of historic and controversial federal loan guarantees, was once again, in 1989, suffering from a poor image, massive losses, eroding market share, and dwindling cash. Today, however, Chrysler is earning record profits and praise for its stylish and innovative cars. Moreover, this remarkable success has allowed Chrysler to join forces with Daimler-Benz, owner of Mercedes, in the largest industrial merger in history. Guts is the story behind the headlines. With frank and irreverent wit, Robert A. Lutz, the iconoclastic genius behind Chrysler’s second renaissance, offers controversial, counterintuitive maxims about customer service, strategy, competition, quality, and teamwork to explain how and why he deliberately fostered ""corporate schizophrenia"" to bring about Chrysler’s amazing comeback.
