Why GM Failed

Steve Hartkopf - Tuesday, June 02, 2009



My family always bought GM cars and I can remember my Dad telling me that General Motors was "the largest company in the world." That's a big deal to a child who, even then, was fascinated by how business works.

GM's decline into bankruptcy was unfortunate but necessary. It probably should have happened six months and $50B ago.

In my research I came across the following article (click below). I think Mr. Peter Cohan explains GM's demise about as well as anything I've read. His article is concise and includes several links to follow if you want to read more.
