In 2009, General Motors became bankrupt and thanks to generous support from US government, the company did not go out of existence. 2010 has to be the year of turning around for the company and it seems that GM bosses think that the solution should come from out of the auto industry. So, they looked towards Microsoft and have recruited Christopher Liddell. From January 1 2010, he will start working for GM. Let us see if he can use his experience of Microsoft and steer GM out of the troubled condition.
If this appointment clicks then other car manufacturers may look outside of industry for top management posts in future.
