Following the lead of many CEO’s these days Jeff Immelt has, in his latest book - The New GE Way, let us in on a lot of previously closely held information about GE. By carefully examining this book, as well as other recent and older publications about GE, we have been able to construct a picture of the culture within GE from its beginnings (Reference Innovate Like Edison) to the culture under Welch and Immelt. The styles are different and are intended to achieve different results in certain aspects of GE’s business.

It is becoming increasingly clear to me, as I examine the ‘culture for innovation’ in many of the most innovative companies, that the culture of the founder(s), even from 100 years plus back, has a profound effect on the company.
