Due to GEDiversification, variety and specification are complicated,market competition Fierce, it'sEnterprise organization managementThey are also actively engaged in reform.In the early 1950s, the company completely adopted the "decentralizedDivision system”。At that time, the whole company was divided into 20 business divisions.Each business unit operates independently,Separate accounting。As time goes by,enterprise operation The company constantly adjusts its organizational structure to meet the needs of.In 1963, when Boych took over as chairman, the company's organizational structure was divided into 5 groups, 25 divisions and 110 departments.At that time, the company's sales were in theStagnant periodIn five years, the sales volume is only about 5 billion dollars.After 1967, the company's business grew rapidly, and the sales of almost every group reached 1.6 billion dollars.Bocci believed that the original organization could not adapt to the expansion of business.So we expanded 5 groups to 10, 25 divisions to 50, and 110 departments to 170.He also reorganizedLeading organizationAnd appointed 8 new group general managers, 33 branch managers and 100 new department leaders.At the same time, a board of directors composed of five people has been set up, whose responsibility is to supervise the whole company and formulate long-term basic strategies for the company.
Strategic institutions
At the end of the 1960s, General Electric Company encountered fierce competition from Westinghouse Electric Company in the market, and the company's finance has beendeficitSwing up.The company's top leaders, in 1971Enterprise management systemA new strategic measure has been taken, namely, the establishment of "strategic institutions" within the Division.This kind of "strategic business unit" is an independent organizational department, which can selectively manage certain products within the business unit, so that the business unit can flexibly and effectively distribute and use human and material resources in a centralized manner, and formulate strict and predictable plans for various products, sales, equipment and organizationsstrategic plan。Such "strategic public institutions" can be equal to the group;It can also be equivalent to the level of the segment, for exampleMedical system, plant components, chemistry and metallurgy, etc;Some are equivalent to the level of the department, such asTungsten carbideTools and engineering plastics.The leading group of General Electric Company attaches great importance to the establishment of "strategic business unit", which is considered as a "very meaningful step" and an "important way" for the development of the company. In 1971, the company set records in terms of sales and profit.According to the rapid development of the company from 1960s to 1970s, this measureIndeedIt has also played a lot of roles.In the 11 years from 1966 to 1976, the sales of General Electric Company doubled from 7.177 billion dollars to 15.697 billion dollars;Net profitFrom 339 million dollars to 931 million dollars.Contemporaneousfixed assetsThe total increased from 2.757 billion dollars to 6.955 billion dollars.

Re centralization
In the mid-1970s,American economyThere was stagnation again. Jones, who took over as chairman of General Electric Company in 1972, feared that there might be a long-term economic depression in the 1980s. By the end of 1977, he had further reorganized the companymanagement systemSince January 1978, the "executive department system" has been implemented, that is“Super business division system”。This system is to establish some "super business divisions" on each business division to govern and coordinate the activities of each business division, which means that there is another level of management above the business division.In this way, on the one hand, the top leadership can reduce the daily work, so as to concentrate on mastering the relevantEnterprise developmentStrategic decision-making plan;On the one hand, it also enhances the flexibility of enterprises.In the restructured system, Chairman Jones and two vice chairmen form the executive board of the highest leading body, which is responsible for long-term strategic plans, dealing with the government, and studying tax system and other issues.The Executive Board has five "executive departments" (i.e. "super business departments"), including consumerProduct serviceExecutive Department, Industrial Product Parts Executive Departmentpower equipment Executive Department, International Executive Department, Technical Equipment and Materials Executive Department), each executive department is in the charge of a deputy general manager.The Executive Department has 9 headquarters (groups), 50 business divisions and 49 strategic business units.Daily affairs of each business unit, as well as market, product, technology, customer and other aspectsstrategic decision Previously, they had to report to the company's top leadership, which was led by two vice chairmen.In addition, the three staff departments of finance, personnel and law are directly led by the chairman of the board.
Establish network system
General Electric Companybusiness managementWidely used in electronicscomputerAfter that, aNetwork system, greatly acceleratedwork efficiency。This network system includes 65 sales departments distributed in 49 states, 18 product warehouses distributed in 11 states, and 40 manufacturing departments distributed in 21 states (53 in totalmanufacturer)All connected.When the customer calls to place an order, the salesperson willdata inputThis network system will automatically carry out the next series of work: such as querying the customer's credit status and whether there is any inventory of this product in the nearest warehouse. After the two points are answered in the affirmative, the network system will simultaneously handle the acceptance of ordersdraw a billRegister warehouse accounts and, if necessary, issue production to the factory to replenish warehouse inventoryDispatching orderAnd then inform the sales staff that the goods required by the customer have been delivered.The whole process can be completed in less than 15 seconds.It is also worth noting that in addition to the fast speed of handling affairs, this network system has actually integrated salesinventory management 、production scheduling And so on.
Scientific research organization system
Similarly, GE also attaches great importance to scientific research and has a long history.In the second year after the establishment of the company, there was a young German mathematician SteinMAZEEngaging in scientific research, the laboratory was established in 1900.In 1970, the American Industrial Research Institute reported that the company had 207 research departments, including oneresearch and development206 centersProduct researchDepartment.shareScientific researchersMore than 17200 people, accounting for 4% of the total number of employees of the company.
In 1973, General Electric Company had 31000 professionals with technical degrees, more than half of whom were engaged in research and development.In 1972, the company's total scientific research expenses exceeded 800 million dollars, of which 300 million dollars were borne by the company, and 500 million dollars were mainly used forU.S. governmentOn the research and development of concluding contracts.
GE's scientific research work is divided into basic theory and application research.Its research and development center is engaged in these two aspects, focusing on basic theoretical research, serving the whole company, and conducting joint research on some common topics in various industries.The predecessor of this research and development center is a laboratory established by the company in 1900, which is also engaged infundamental researchFirst ofIndustrial laboratory。Its founder is the United StatesMassachusetts Institute of TechnologyWhitener, a young chemist, and two technicians from General Electric Company.The early research work of this laboratory mainly focused onbulb、X-ray tube、ThyratronAnd related chemistrymetallurgyBasic research.TwiceWorld WarThis studyLaboratory researchCommunication and radar devices used in war.the Second World WarAt the end of the period, the number of researchers in the research laboratory expanded to more than 600.In 1968, this research laboratoryOfficially namedAs a research and development center, it had 17000 staff by 1973, 325 of whom were doctors of physics.A deputy general manager of the company is also the director of the Research and Development Center.The research and development center has two research departments:Materials ScienceWith the Engineering Department (divided into four research rooms) andPhysical ScienceAnd Engineering Department (divided into 5 research rooms).In addition, there are 3administrative managementMinistry namely
(1) Research and Application Department consists of external liaison, plan analysis, personnel researchInformation researchAnd other four departments are responsible for rapidly extending the research results to all departments of the companyProduction department, and establish extensive technical contacts outside of GE;
(2) The Research Management Department is responsible for managing the experimental factory and service station, leading the Finance and Accounting Department, the Equipment Department and the Foliko;
(3) The Legal Advisory Department, composed of 11 people, is responsible for the review of patents, the evaluation of inventions and the legal affairs of patent applications.In addition, the company's 206 product research departments are generally located near the product manufacturing plant, with researchers ranging from dozens to hundreds, focusing on applied research.
R&D Center
In 1900, GE established the first R&D center in the garage.
General Electric Company launched its website in 1996.The marketing purpose adopted in the design of the website is based onB2Coperation pattern 6~8 kinds of leading electrical appliances are targeted for promotion;It aims to win over about 25% of new customers, while taking into account other customers who want to replace or purchase individual products.After several times of overallStructural adjustmentLater, it has become a large-scale e-commerce website for online sales, online design, online consultation and service.For GENetwork marketing strategyCarry out specific analysis.
GE website is composed of many independent websites, which is one of its structural features.The main station has many columns, including "leading column area", "online shopping area", "offline shopping area", "advertising area"“service area”"Business News Area", "Technical News Area", "Stock Market Market Area", "Key Promotion Area"“sports newsAnd several information retrieval entry windows.

eightGlobal Connections
GE also takes the leadService ItemsIt has set up a number of websites, such as (the main website of General Electric Company), (financial investment consulting service website)(Home appliance network), (supply service business website), (women's health consulting website), (national professional basketball and Olympic basketball game website), (GE small business service website), etc.
This structure is adopted by many large enterprises, such asP&GWebsite.The difference is that P&G's output is only concentrated in beauty, health care, skin care, personal cleaning and other major categories, and it is marketed according to the "brand oriented strategy", that is, it is designed according to the principle of "one brand, one website";General Electric generally only uses the brand "GE", and its product and service categories span too much. Therefore, the idea of "domain name by function" rather than "domain name by brand" is adopted for its subsites.There is no difference between the two schemes, but the brand websiteKeyword retrievalAdditional comments are required.
Website positioning
For any website, the first is the information layer, the second is the channel layer, and the third is the service layer.Most domestic electronic websites are still competing at the information level, not because they don't want to build stable customer channels to provideSubstantiveBecause most of them do not have the basis of industrial practice, it is difficult to build a novel online from the reality of consumers or enterprisesBusiness modelCome on.Or, in other words, they have a good understanding of the product, the customer, and the actualbusiness modelLack of deep understanding is the main reason for the lack of vitality of these websites.
GE websiteInformation Delivery、Channel construction, orService modeShangdu can be rated as first-class.First of all, the website is not simply positioned on external forms such as "B2B", "B2C", "B2G", but on customer groups.Therefore, the website is designed according to the guidelines of "individuals", "families", "small businesses", "companies", "industrial solutions", "GE business" and "global services".
Based on this concept, GE website "captures" customers with information and expands channels with services.In terms of job form, it includes "B2C", "B2B", "B2G" and "ASP"Isomode。(B2C——Lighting, household appliancesBondingWith sealant, home appliance security, personal finance, GE credit cardlease of houses, credit, etc.)
B2B——Generalnetwork serviceSmall business services, purchase/lease of equipment, purchase of new IT equipment, reductionVehicle costExpenses, business development, employee welfare, automation, communication, transportation, GE investment, commercial equipment, etc;
Secondly, from the so-called portal form, it is difficult to say which GE website belongs to.AsEnterprise websiteIn terms of product marketing, it is very professional and exclusive. For example, in the column of household appliances and electric light source productsMarketing creativityAnd virtual effectsB2C websiteA model in.

In the global brand value ranking in 2000, "GE" ranked the fourth with a brand value of 33.502 billion yuan, and the top 20 brands were all world-renowned brands.Among the owners of these brands, 19 are professional enterprises, and only one is a diversified enterprise, which is General Electric.
1999《wealth》"World Manager"Jack Welch Mr. Liu described the company he led: General Electric Company is the largest diversified service company in the world, and also a provider of high-quality, high-tech industrial and consumer products.
Make a brand with heart
General Electric Company is the world's largest diversified multinational company integrating manufacturing, technology and service.Therefore, GE's brand has a broad meaning. It represents diversified businessFinancial strength, business scaletechnological innovation, values and people.GE headquarters regularly passes the professionalResearchCollect the information of business practitioners and ordinary consumers on GE'sNorth AmericaSouth America has the highest brand and popularity, followed by Europe and Asia.GE's brand is mainly reflected in its good reputation in professional fields, andend userThe relationship between them is more indirect.
people oriented
In the 108 year history of GE's development, there are countless exciting things, and everything has led GE to more success.At the beginning of the 1980s, GEBusiness DepartmentStreamline it into 10 core business departments to make it the leader in the industry;This is a diversified company, with 11 business groups ranking separately, and 9 of them can enter the Fortune 500.GE's culture has the concepts and methods of "brainstorming", "speed", "boundaryless", "horizontal learning" and so on that people like to talk about.
How the brand is reflected in people,Harvard UniversityProfessor Dennis Encarnation has done a survey and found that 173 CEOs of Fortune 500 companies in the United States are from GE.If we have a good understanding of GE's operating system andpersonnel systemWould not be sensational.GE has a complete set of methods for assessing and motivating personnel, and the requirements for employees are "red and expert", which means that they have both GE values and performance.Employees can participate in a "360 degree" evaluation, allowing your boss, colleagues, subordinates and customers to evaluate you from different perspectives and perspectives, so that you know how to improve yourself.Company requirementsManagersThe employees are divided into several grades, including the best 100%, the second best 75%, the middle 50% and the worst 10%.The top 10% of companies reward and train them, while the bottom 10% get nothing.Managers should sit calmly with their subordinates, tell them where they are in the company, tell the truth to employees as soon as possible, and let them know, so that employees can keep forging ahead and make progress every day.
Focus on customer needs
GE has never done anything for pure brand.For example, GE has almost no advertising in China.What GE is more willing to do is to introduce itself to professional fields, existing and potential customers, so that they can understand that "GE" is a good company. If it is cooperation, "GE" is the best and most trustworthy company.
It takes a long time to sort out a well-known brand, and GE has a history of 100 years.But building a famous brand is not just aTime issues。What is the most important thing to establish a well-known brand?
Each business group of GE is the first or second in its industry, because GE pays the greatest attention to“customer demand”。Never like now, customers are demanding more and more services, and GE has officially gained unlimited business opportunities from "customer needs".For example, GE Capitalservice system From credit card issuance to insuranceStructured financingreachContainer leasing, up to 40% of the profits come from this.When most people still associate GE with manufacturers, GE has gone deep into customers, providing high-quality products as well ashigh added valueServices for.For another example, GE's aircraft engine maintenance free is to provide customers with maximum service, and such business also makes GEsupplierBecome a partner and expandProfit space。
