question 238

Short Answer

Which of the following is accurate with respect to General Motors' history with centralization and decentralization?
The company has been centralized for most of its history.
The decentralization that was evident early in GM's history eventually led to a very high-cost way of operating because of all the different car designs developed by GM's various divisions.
By the middle of the 20^th century, GM's decentralization approach had gotten the company into trouble, so it shifted to a more centralized operation.
Decentralization at GM resulted in almost identical cars being developed in the different divisions of the company.
Decentralization has been the cause of GM's troubles during the last decade.
