Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How could one company—General Motors—meet disaster on one continent and achieve explosive growth on another at the very same time? While General Motors was hurtling towards bankruptcy in 2009, GM’s subsidiary in China was setting new sales and profit records. This book reveals how extraordinary people, remarkable decisions and surprising breaks made triumph in China possible for General Motors. It also shows just how vulnerable that winning track record remains. No small part of GM’s success in China springs from its management of shifting business and political relationships. In China, the government makes the rules for—and competes in—the auto industry. GM’s business partner, the City of Shanghai, is both an ally and a competitor. How does such an unnatural relationship work on a day-to-day basis? Where will it go on the future? General Motors also engages in constant battles with other global and Chinese car makers for the hearts of demanding Chinese consumers. Dunne gives us rare glimpses into the mindsets and behavior of this new moneyed set, the worlds newest class of wealthy consumers. China is already the number one car market in the world. During the next ten years, China will export millions of cars and trucks globally, including to the United States. American Wheels, Chinese Roads presents readers with fascinating illustrations of what to expect when Chinese cars, companies, and business people arrive on our shores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November, GM CEO Rick Wagoner appeared before Congress to ask for $25 billion to bail out the struggling Big Three automakers. To critics like Thomas Freidman and Mitt Romney, it was a sign that the American auto industry should be led out to pasture; if the Japanese are better at making cars, they said, then we should let them do it. To defenders, the loss of the country's largest manufacturing sector would be an incomprehensible disaster. Nearly every day, the debate rages on the op-ed pages. Billions of dollars and millions of jobs hang in the balance. In Why GM Matters, William Holstein goes deep inside GM to show what's really happening at the country's most iconic corporation. Where critics say that GM has sat on its hands while the market changed, Holstein demonstrates that GM has already radically retooled its entire operation, from manufacturing and cost structure to design. Where pundits say we'd be better off without GM, he shows how inextricably linked GM and the nation's economy still are: The country's largest private buyer of IT, the world's largest buyer of steel, the holder of pensions for 780,000 Americans, GM accounts for a full 1 percent of our country's GDP. A dollar spent on GM has profoundly different consequences from a dollar spent on Toyota. Following a diverse cast of characters-from Rick Wagoner, the controversial CEO, to design director Bob Boniface, to Linda Flowers, a team leader on the line in Kansas City-Holstein examines the state of GM's health and builds a persuasive argument that GM is essential to our nation's well-being and, with the right economic climate, ready to compete with Toyota as one of the biggest global automakers.

Download or read book GM Passes Ford 1918 1938 written by Arthur J. Kuhn and published by Penn State University Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dramatic story of how upstart General Motors got ahead of pioneer Ford--and has stayed ahead--is told here along with an explanation of GM's success. This book argues that GM won the race by designing a successful performance-control system, in harmony with cybernetic principles and systems theory, under the leadership of Alfred Sloan and his expert team. Henry Ford, the passionate individualist, meanwhile established a losing tradition described by the author as anti-team, anti-expert, and anti-system. GM's recent difficulties, according to Dr. Kuhn, are a result of its lapse from early policies. In 1921 Ford held the largest share of a market ever attained by a single manufacturer, 59%, while GM had slipped from about 20% to 15%. Starting in 1924, GM climbed to over 40% of the market, a share it has held ever since, while Ford fell to about 10%. GM has outperformed Ford even more sharply in return to shareholders. The author, however, does not gloss over GM's weaknesses, especially its "laggard performance" in consumer safety and its "tunnel vision" in product development. Although the concepts of "steermanship" and "inquiring systems" were not set forth theoretically until after 1938, GM's leaders applied these concepts organizationally during the boom-and-bust 1920s and 1930s. Most of the book describes the affinities and clashes of personality leading to GM's adoption and Ford's rejection of a performance-control system. The final chapters describe GM's generally superior performance but show why GM, in spite of that, has had difficulties in meeting recent challenges. Here is exciting history with a compelling message.
