General Electric Company has been split in the independent long term growth and to create values, when it comes to the customers, investors and employees. General Electric Company has spinned off its GE Healthcare in 2023, causing the company to only avail 19.9 percent stake. Company has combined on the three divisions including GE Renewable Energy, GE Power, and GE Digital – that would be discarded by the 2024 (Williams, 2023). The main reasons for the General Electric recent changes has been the growing disputes, mismanagement and bad handling of the assets. The company core has remained in the General Electric aviation including the aviation groups. In the three industry leading, focusing on the tailored capital allocation, flexibility including the long term growth and values in the customers, investors, and employees.

Strong market positions, including the electricity requirement to focus on the finance, media and computers. GE focus on the strong oriented growth, focused on the aviation revenues (Williams, 2023).Change implementation and their reasoning for the change

General Electric Company decisions of restructuring were taken by the CEO and Chairman Larry Culp on the October 1st, 2018 as a decision to take on the conglomerate with the Danaher Corporation. Company to focus on the GE’s has been the CEO; s manager in the company, which has resulted in the earning to rise by the $23 billion accounting fraud to write down in the goodwill causing the media division (Mariano-Hernández, et al., 2021).

Rising CEO John Flannery has affected by the 14 months—causing the difficulty period, post the CEOs: Jeff Immelt (16 years) along with the Jack Welch (20 years). Flannery’s in the difficulty period, causing the most of the locomotive performance, as a result of the elimination of the 12,000 jobs during the power division. In the 2018, not only the situation has worsened as a result of the GE announcement of paying $15 bn. by including covering liabilities (Dermer, 2019). Growing dubious accounting suspicion has caused most of the organization disruptions and restructuring problems (Cameron, 2019).

PART B

The changes warranted in the General Electric, has caused the industrial giants to face the fortunes. Most of the changes in the General Electric have notably seen in the changes orientation when it comes to the core healthcare and energy business (Cameron, 2019). Due to the hard hit 2008 company crises and experiencing the financial problems, most of the downsizing and restructuring the efforts has caused the CEO’s to face the massive debts. In the company the changes are required, in order to independent run business better, position in the long term growth, having the right values and the customers, investors and employees. Company has been affected by the 2023 causing the GE healthcare detainment, with the ideal of the 19.9% stake in the overall system (Williams, 2023). The change required the single business to be divided into the GE Renewable Energy, GE Power and GE Digital. The change required the General Electric management to be focused on the aviation, having the future source in the Boeing and investing in the function. The responsibility was more on the restructuring the finance, management and building on the leadership aviation industries. Growing management, having the new entities, can tailor capital allocation and build on the long term flexibility in the growth and values (Otley, 2019).

In order to regain competitive, delivering customer values, not only the shareholders have faced the growing employee’s literal hand, but also the environment has changed in the entire workforce, that has led to the multiple innovations. Growing competitive edge, having the importance to explore the suppliers, manufacturers, customers can make the General Electric company experience more competitor General Electric can include the flexible financial products.
