The General Electric Company, or GE, is an American multinational1 conglomerate2. It is usually listed in the top three largest companies in the world. The company was started by the inventor Thomas Edison in 1890. He originally called it Edison General Electric. A series of successful mergers3 made the company into an industry giant. It is involved in aviation, electronics, finance, healthcare, entertainment and more. It employs over 300,000 people and has yearly revenues in excess of $150 billion. Its current slogan is ‘Imagination at Work’. Its website says: “We consider our culture to be among our innovations. Over decades our leaders have built GE’s culture — a place for creating and bringing big ideas to life. Today, that culture is the unifying4 force for our many business units around the world.”
