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. 606 $aAutomobile industry and trade -- China 606 $aCorporations, Foreign -- China 606 $aGeneral Motors Corporation 606 $aAutomobile industry and trade$zChina 606 $aCorporations, Foreign$zChina 615 4$aAutomobile industry and trade -- China. 615 4$aCorporations, Foreign -- China. 615 4$aGeneral Motors Corporation. 615 0$aAutomobile industry and trade 615 0$aCorporations, Foreign 676 $a338.476292 676 $a338.76292220951 700 $aDunne$b Michael J$0181850 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910954165303321 996 $aAmerican Wheels, Chinese Roads$94362465 997 $aUNINA
