Mitsubishi Motors

Japanese automaker added to the Renault-Nissan Alliance in 2016, transforming the two-party coalition into a three-party structure. The addition was intended to increase scale and stability, following the biological principle that three-member coalitions can be more stable than two-member coalitions if properly balanced.

Mitsubishi's inclusion created an alliance board chair rotation system (rotating annually between members) to prevent permanent hierarchy - directly applying coalition stability principles observed in successful multi-party business coalitions like Airbus.
