Abstract:General Motors had enjoyed global operations that were based on exports, acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic alliances throughout the 20th century. Its global-programme strategy appeared assured. However, the carmaker came unstuck when it came to creating a large-scale collaborative effort involving its own internal units. The Delta Small Car Program, involving three fully internal GM units, was terminated after its goals failed to materialize. The carmaker's long-standing cultural tradition of autonomy for its units was what made collaboration between them difficult. GM global programme is examined here placing it in its historical context.
