From the Paper:

"General Motors Corporation (GM) is an automotive company that built its historical success on the precepts of its most innovative leader and the man responsible for placing GM in its global leadership position, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., who built GM into a automotive company that offered, "...a car for every purse and purpose" (Tedlow, 2005, para.8). GM is the world's largest automobile manufacturer with manufacturing operations in 32 countries, operational presence in more than 190 countries, and a global market share in the automobile industry of approximately 14.7% (General, 2005). GM describes its operations in its 2004 Annual Report as consisting of automotive operations in 4 primary regions: GM North America, GM Europe, GM Latin America/Africa/Mid-East, and GM Asia Pacific (Hands, 2004, p.46)."
