"No place in Michigan"- Morgenson of the NYT on aspects of the culture at GM (General Motors) leading to the recall crisis of 2014
06/07/2014
After the triple bankruptcies in Michigan of GM, Chrysler and the city of Detroit, the lost decade for Michigan and the continuing struggles of young people to find good job opportunities, there is no place in Michigan for the failed cultural practices of the past. Morgenson describes some of the practices at GM that led to the recall crisis of 2014. Other aspects of the same culture led to the bankruptcy at GM. The NYT columnist also takes up the issue for cultural practices in other parts of the country, in the financial industry based in New York- and in London, UK.

Edward Whitacre, the new chairman of GM (General Motors)
06/09/2009
Edward Whitacre is brought in by the Obama administration to lead GM's recovery. What sort of a man is he, and what do peers, experts and others think of him? Where is he from? A sleepy railroad town in Texas called Ennis where his father was alocomotive engineerfor 50 years, and who wanted his son to get the education that he himself had missed out on. Whitacre went on to Texas Tech in Lubbock mostly because it was $75 for tution. Through this story by Tim Higgins of the Detroit Free Press one can see the changes that are expected at GM. The kind of culture change where egotistical lead board members like George Fisher who called himself Eastman the Second at Eastman Kodak in 2008, is now the place where the throroughly informal with little ego Whitacre now walks around opnely talking to GM employees.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
