????從發號施令到經受考驗 ????汽車業沒有清閑舒服的工作。消費者那些讓人捉摸不透的喜好、市場的不確定性和宏觀經濟的種種變數都是汽車行業的高管們要面對的問題。剛剛過去的2012年，歐洲車市萎靡不振，中國車市開始降溫，電動汽車失寵于人，這些因素讓高管們的職業道路和各大汽車廠商的前景發生了變化。本文預測了2013年汽車業可能出現的熱點——以及那些將接受市場考驗的高管們。 |
????From the driver's seat to the hot seat ????There are no sinecures in the auto business. Executives are subject to the whims of customer preference, the uncertainty of the marketplace, and vagaries of macroeconomic forces. In 2012, recession in Europe, a cooling in China, and the rejection of electric vehicles changed the course of careers and companies. Here's a look at some of the likely hot spots in 2013 -- and the executives who will feel the heat. |

????斯蒂夫?吉斯基：通用汽車 ????斯蒂夫，你手上的事夠多了吧？作為副總裁，吉斯基負責公司戰略、新業務開發、采購和供應鏈、產品規劃、安吉星（OnStar）和商業聯盟。但他多數時間還是待在歐洲，掌管通用歐洲分公司（GM Europe），同時擔任歐寶公司（Opel）總裁。吉斯基必須勸說歐洲強勢的工會允許歐寶關閉工廠，同時推動他與標致雪鐵龍集團（PSA Peugeot Citroen）所達成的高風險合作盡快出成果。 |
????Steve Girsky: General Motors ????Got enough on your plate, Steve? As vice chairman, Girsky oversees corporate strategy, new business development, purchasing and supply chain, product planning, OnStar, and business alliances. But he's spending most of his time across the Atlantic where he also heads GM Europe and is chairman of Opel. Girsky has to persuade Europe's powerful trade unions to allow Opel to close plants and deliver quick results from his high-risk alliance with PSA Peugeot Citroen. |
