摘要

On mar. 10, general Motors Chairman and Chief Executive G. Richard Wagoner Jr. hopped on the company jet with his chief financial officer and some top sales execs to visit dealers in Dallas and on the West Coast. The idea of the trip was to shore up morale-and, more important, to get some answers to the vexing question of why GM can't pump Up market share and wean buyers off profit-eating incentives. One Texas dealer says Wagoner was extremely upbeat, vowing that some of GM's new and upcoming models and a new advertising push would turn things around. Less than a week later, Wagoner was decidedly less ebullient. On Mar. 16 he and CFO John M. Devine stunned Wall Street with a warning that GM's flagging sales will result in a huge hit to the bottom line in 2005. With market share sliding in the first two months of the year, from 27.2% for 2004 to 24.9%-the lowest level since a two-month strike shut the company down in 1998-GM as a whole expects a net loss of $846 million in the first quarter.

Richard Wagoner Jr.)与他的首席财务官和一些高级销售人员跳上公司的飞机,拜访了达拉斯和西海岸的经销商。这次旅行的想法是要鼓舞士气,更重要的是,要获得一个令人困扰的问题的答案,即通用汽车为何无法提高市场份额并让购买者放弃获利的激励措施。德克萨斯州的一位经销商表示,瓦格纳非常乐观,并宣称通用汽车的一些新车型和即将推出的车型以及新的广告宣传将扭转局面。不到一周之后,瓦格纳就变得不那么热情洋溢了。 3月16日,他和首席财务官约翰·迪瓦恩(John M. Devine)震惊华尔街,警告通用汽车销售不佳将对2005年的利润产生巨大冲击。市场份额在今年前两个月从27.2%下滑2004年该公司的股票跌至24.9%,这是自为期两个月的罢工以来的最低水平。该公司在1998年关闭了通用汽车公司,整个公司预计第一季度的净亏损为8.46亿美元。
