General
Motors used to be known as one of the most unreliable car companies in the
American market despite its massive size. But they seemed to have learned from
their humiliation during the start of the recent recession. Their renewed focus
has led them to make important changes. They just achieved yet another historic
milestone by naming Marry Barra as CEO, the first woman to run a global
automobile company. She also happens to be an engineer, the first engineer to
hold the leadership position in about twenty years. This is not to say that the
outgoing CEO Dan Akerson did a bad job either: he's overseen the design of
several great cars that have revitalized the brand, but there remain more
challenges ahead. GM needs to fix their image
perception. Being the leader in online reputation management, Centel Media™ understands
exactly what that means and how challenging it can be without professional
help.
At some
point in its past, GM became too big and had more growth problems than they
could handle. But they examined their practices closely and had the courage to
make large-scale changes. The latest decisions have included
restructuring attempts in Europe, Asia, and Australia. They have even gone so
far as to pull out entirely from some of these areas, ending the billions in
losses they have suffered over the years from those locations. Rival
company Ford Motors actually did the same in its return to success not long
ago.
As a
consequence of being too big, GM's quality decreased. It wasn't until
2009 when the US government bailed them out did they probably realize how
serious their manufacturing and image problems had become. The people noticed
too: they quickly turned towards companies like Toyota and Ford as
alternatives. This negative public perception contributed greatly to their
downfall. Now with the US government exiting as a shareholder, GM has a great
opportunity to recreate themselves in the eyes of the world.
It is not
often that companies can recover from bankruptcy, and GM should be grateful. If
