General Motors General Motors Corporation (GM) is an internationally recognized, global enterprise based in the United States. The company was founded in 1908, and has some of the most recognizable names in the world including; Chevrolet, Hummer, Buick, Cadillac, and Pontiac. Measured by global sales GM was the world’s largest automotive manufacturer for 77 years, until the 2009 financial collapse, and subsequent bankruptcy and government bailout caused major restructuring throughout the company. GM then lost the global sales title in 2010 to Japanese auto manufacturer Toyota, although both GM and Toyota are likely to be ousted this year by German manufacturer Volkswagen (Bloomberg, 2011). GM has had to reevaluate the company’s organizational structure for financial solvency, and to gain a foothold against strong competition expanding into the US and developing markets abroad.
