The Inevitability of Jack Welch

i don't want to dispute the fact that we live in a different age, but i think it's clear that neither welch nor melt set this company up for success as a combined entity. Are there any companies aut the right now that smell like g 20 years ago? It was such a unique set of circumstances. But listen, in the book, i point to companies where, not only some, in which the sos learned at jack's knee and are still using him stay who they are.
