When Car Guys Ran GM

摘要

A while back a general motors vice president said to me, "This system won't work, but it will take them ten years to find out." He was talking about the way GM organized itself. This isn't the kind of remark you often get, and it's not the kind you forget. The man was one of the last vice presidents to head a GM division. He was well thought of, at least by those of us who didn't work for GM. He did his best, but he's gone now. About the last thing anyone at General Motors wants to think about is reorganization-there were enough reorganizations in the last couple of decades. When they were finished, no one at GM knew what anyone was supposed to do. The company has just recovered from all that chaos.
