Chapter 6, Problem 1MIA
Summary Introduction
Case Summary:
GE started in the 19th century with more than 30,000 employees. It was led by CEO JW, under whom the market value of the company increased by 4000%. It deals with various products like radio, television and jet engines. In 2002, JF took over as CEO. Market value dropped to $261 by 2015. The major reason for the decline was the change in strategy as he was interested in acquiring high-growth businesses instead of relying on traditional businesses. He wanted to invest funds into high-growth markets such as software.
Interpretation: Ways in which GE is creating a “fit” among its activities in Country I.
