Ease On Down The Road?
There are rumblings that GM might move its headquarters out of Detroit.
When Fritz Henderson was asked about the possibility, his answers were less than confidence-building.
“We’re looking at, frankly, everything within our business, but it’s not like we have that queued up at the top of our list,” he said. “But as we look at the structure, look at the business, we’re looking at everything,” he added, “particularly as we slim down. But at this point, I don’t have anything to report. Our headquarters is here, we’ve got a fairly large complement of people here and we’re proud to be here.” And once more for clarity: “We don’t have any such plan, but if we did it would be motivated by business rationale, which would be cost, efficiency and speed,” Henderson said.
Talk about a definite-maybe!
