While General Motors was hurtling towards bankruptcy in 2009, GM's subsidiary in China was setting new sales and profit records. This book reveals how extraordinary people, remarkable decisions and surprising breaks made triumph in China possible for General Motors. It also shows just how vulnerable that winning track record remains. No small part of GM's success in China springs from its management of shifting business and political relationships.Automobile industry and trade -- ChinaCorporations, Foreign -- ChinaGeneral Motors CorporationAutomobile industry and tradeChinaCorporations, ForeignChinaAutomobile industry and trade -- China.Corporations, Foreign -- China.General Motors Corporation.Automobile industry and tradeCorporations, Foreign338.476292338.76292220951Dunne Michael J181850AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910814884703321American Wheels, Chinese Roads4042354UNINA
