Ge, 2006년 세계에서 가장 존경 받는 기업 1위

February 21, 2006

미국의 포천(Fortune)은 2월 21일, 2006년 세계에서 가장 존경받는 기업(World's Most Admired Company)으로 지난 해에 이어 GE를 재선정했다. GE는 미국에서 가장 존경 받는 기업에서도 1위를 기록했다. 포천은 모두 6번 GE를 1위에 선정하였다. GE가 연속 1위를 기록하는 비결에 대해 포천은 "여론조사 대상자인 경영인들이 GE를 좋아하기 때문"이며 "경영인들이 GE를 애정 어린 눈길로 바라보는 이유는 GE가 늘 새로운 경영 아이디어를 제시하며 다른 기업들이 따라야 할 방향을 제시해주기 때문"이라고 말했다. 지난 1892~1912년 GE를 이끈 찰스 코핀회장은 최초로 대기업 조직을 설계하였다. 즉, 일찌기 GE가 생산한 최고의 발명품은 전구가 아닌 경영능력이었다고 포천은 설명했다. GE는 1900년, 세계최초로 연구개발(R&D)센터를 설립했으며 1930년에는 노조와 협력관계 구축에 초점을 두고 연금과 이익에 기반한 보너스 제도를 만들었다. 1950년에는 기업 관리자 지침서인 '블루북(Blue Book)'을 펴냈으며 1960년대에는 전략기획의 개념을 고안했다.
