very insightful book, described in detail how was General Motor run over the years during the author's tenure as vice president at GM. He pointed out all the problems he saw, both internal and external, all the factors eventually led to the bankruptcy during the infamous global financial crisis. The author discussed the management issues in GM and gave very insightful arguments against current rigid management style (corporate culture). Anyway, absolutely an excellent book to learn about car industry especially in terms of American automotive industry. Only problem is in the last chapter, the conclusion chapter, the author came out with some conclusion that are rather "backward" and short-sighted in my opinion.
Highly recommended!
