The company was established in Detroit, USA, 1908. Besides producing and selling automobiles, it is also involved in aerospace, electronic communication, industrial automation and finance.
The predecessor of General Motors is the current Buick division. In order to strengthen the company's strength, Durant, the founder of the company, has joined forces with the earliest major automobile companies in the United States to form a huge general motors company.
General Motors is one of the first super-large enterprises in the United States to implement joint-stock system and expert group management. During the period from 19 1 1 to 1927, Ford Motor Company, another American automobile company, became the first automobile company in the world because of its successful mass production of Model T cars. However, with its unique and flexible decentralized management and advanced collaborative management, GM defeated Ford in the 1930s and regained its first position, which has been maintained ever since.
The new concept of GM Cadillac-"Aurora" has changed the traditional model of Cadillac, which is not only sold in the United States, but also entered the world markets such as Japan and Europe. In the middle is its symbol.
At present, GM's headquarters is still in Detroit, with more than 700,000 employees in 40 countries and regions around the world. Globally, the GM family produces 9 million cars every year.
