GM has gone through a great deal of change in reorganization efforts in the past several years. Part of this restructuring was the result of the company’s near collapse several years ago, and the bailout by the government. GM’s leadership has started on a major reorganization effort in this large but troubled organization.It is one thing to organize a small- or medium-size business, but reorganizing a global organization is quite another issue. In a 3- to 5-page paper answer the following questions in a well-thought-out argumentative essay:1. What changes has GM’s leadership made since the government bailout which fall under the “organizing” functions of management?2. Which aspects of this reorganization will be the most challenging for GM’s leadership? Note: Only discuss aspects of organizing that will be a challenge, not challenges in terms of planning or controlling.3. What additional aspects of the organizing function of management do you think GM should change?Remember to focus on these specific questions rather than general background information, and focus only on the organizing function of management at GM.Required ReadingHiggins, T., Green, J., (2012).
