Jack Welch and GE

Jack Welch, the high-powered boss of General Electric, has guided the company through significant changes in the years he’s been at the helm. But Welch has come under severe criticism for his draconian reorganizations, from employees who have lost jobs as a result of downsizing to stockholders worried about the company’s future. In this program, Welch defends his business decisions, including his controversial purchase of NBC Broadcasting in the 1980s. Fellow executives and employees discuss the benefits and drawbacks of Welch’s policies. A union leader paints his own portrait of Welch as "one of the greatest monopoly players on the corporate scene." Original BBC broadcast title: The House That Jack Built. (40 minutes)
