GM或許有機會filing破產. 筆者等了多個月的”欲破其鋒,只欠東風” 可能有機會等到了. 詳見08年11月的post.
如此垃圾的汽車(廢鐵)生產商. 以為可以憑進入中國及新興市場可以挽回其市佔率. 真是痴人說夢.
在國內,真係數埋30架車入面,都可能未必一架GM出品. 面對著日本車/德國車/中國車,美國車更處於捱打位置.
從marketing策略,銷售預測及定價,設計及產能評估,捕捉消費者口味,其管理層均只停留於80′的水平.
零件裝配吻合度差,engine效率耗油量高馬力低,對環境溫度變化寬容度低,欠缺可靠及經常故障的電子系統,
欠缺堅硬的車架,更談不上比起日本車廠的車架設計,和德國車廠的車架,更沒必要比較了.
外型不討好,耐用度欠佳
設計師, 機器工程師完全捕捉唔到市場上消費者的口味 !
GM當年錯誤地評估日本中型及中小型房車在進入美國市場的衝擊力,藍領工人極其高昂既裝配人工時薪(時薪高達57美元, 而在美國設廠的日本車廠平均裝配人工只是US28), 工會的權力比 消費者/管理層/策略性股東/勞工法例 更離譜的工人工會 喂,間廠蝕到要拉閘,都唔可以減d人工? 共渡艱難時間得掛? sorry.. 我地工會唔可以俾你地減薪,更加唔可以炒人. 而且你唔好諗縮數買多d robot番黎代替我地極高薪的工人. 否則我地工會,會file lawsuit against you… 你都唔好諗可以減我地d benefits及allowanace…..特別係medicial benifits…
一間咁既車廠.. 會有將來嗎? who is the freaking boss?
如GM倒下(或許如筆者之前預測,GM最終可能係拆骨),
咁樣,對地球及大自然都是一件好事. 起碼少了一間生產廢鐵的工廠.
至於GM那堆追趕不上市場的GM員工,真的抱歉了。
“光輝歲月、適者生存” 是你們墳頭上的遺言.
GM 旗下的, 除了一部 doge viper的muscle car之外, 我想沒有一部車值得消費者去考慮.
唔適合係就業市場上生存,就需要轉營及自我增值.
間車廠搞到咁樣,工會及工人都要負上莫大的責任. 狂莽自大的管理層 ~_~. 離晒譜的工人工會.
April 7 (Bloomberg) — General Motors Corp. is speeding up preparations for a possible bankruptcy filing even as directors scout for deeper savings this week to avoid that outcome, people familiar with the plans said.
GM would focus on forming a new company from its best assets if court protection is needed, said the people, who asked not to be named because the details aren’t public. The efforts to set a new cost-cut goal center on how to go beyond a proposal to slash debt by 46 percent and shed 47,000 jobs in 2009, and will include talks with Treasury officials, the people said.
The moves are a response to President Barack Obama』s March 30 rejection of GM’s bid to keep $13.4 billion in federal loans. With bondholders and the United Auto Workers balking at concessions, a push for more savings makes bankruptcy more 「probable,」 Chief Executive Officer Fritz Henderson has said.
「The best outcome is for an arrangement outside of bankruptcy, but that will be very difficult,」 said Dennis Virag, president of Automotive Consulting Group in Ann Arbor, Michigan. 「A bankruptcy of a company the size and complexity of GM is not simple, and it’s probably going to get ugly.」
GM’s board met yesterday and April 5, and more discussions are planned inside the company and with the Obama administration after the biggest U.S. automaker was given 60 days to revamp itself without a specific savings target, the people said. New Chairman Kent Kresa had said the agenda would be 「extensive.」
