Analyzing GE’s corporate-level strategy from 2001 – present with Jeff Immelt as CEO, GE focuses on the growth and development platforms. Technology is the key driving force for GE’s future and growth. Advancements in industries such as energy, health and aviation fueled demand for cleaner and more efficient energy production. GE identified new markets with potential high-growth that offered attractive returns through strategic mergers and acquisitions. As CEO, Jeff Immelt established a process for identifying projects that offered attractive growth potential which were then nurtured and treated as special projects or initiatives that were not subject to strict budget constraints.

More recently it seems that most profit lies in company-wide specialization, and the avant-garde of most industries lies entirely in individual companies working towards their own goals. In fact, recently competition has been avoided amongst very large companies, as it is more profitable to exploit the consumer by limiting their options. When the consumer has few to no options, there is little incentive to invest in the improvement of services. Capitalism can be both a catalyst and a hinderance for improvements, and it would be disingenuous to assume socialism couldn’t at least match capitalism in this regard. For example in socialistic societies, financial sustainability wouldn’t be a concern for freelance or employed thinkers.
