I wouldn't want GE-style management for any small, fast-growing company
that can't afford to have its innovation stifled, but if you have to
run a large, established firm that's not on the cutting edge, GE
management, of which Jack Welch was a product rather than a creator,
isn't bad, and it's probably why GE is the only remaining original
member of the Dow Jones Industrials. But Johnson & Johnson and 3M are
probably better-run large companies.
