General Motors promises not to repeat past mistakes

Mary Barra knows everything about cars of General Motors. It is she who takes the wheel of the new models in the testing center in Milford (Michigan ) . It even takes them home , to see how they respond in real life , carrying the shopping bags or jam to work. However, it is not able to say why it took over a decade to make a recall for a problem that caused a dozen deaths .
The
CEO of the largest car maker Detroit testifies today and tomorrow in
the U.S. Congress to answer questions about management that was done to
fix a defect in the ignition system, which affected models sold eight
years before the bankruptcy. His challenge , however , is to demonstrate that the image of the new GM.
Barra began with an apology. On the eve , the company also announced the recall of 1.3 million vehicles because of a problem with the power steering . So
far this year are about seven million cars which must pass through the
workshop , of which 2.6 million are related to the ignition. The cost to the company and rises to 750 million.
The moment when Mary Barra takes charge of the company can not be worse. Hours
before the hearing , relatives of the victims of accidents, with photos
in hand, called for requiring GM and other automakers to be more
transparent with the public they serve . They refer specifically to information of accidents and their causes.
The
fascination that accompanied his appointment in December fizzled fast
and got the same culture as the GM bankruptcy is chasing him . For her it is a problem he inherited when he took office on January 15 . But who gets to manage the crisis. Without being specific , gave assurances this type of defect is solved before another life is lost.
In this regard , he explained that there is an ongoing internal investigation led by the prosecutor Anton Valukas . "
You have absolute freedom to get where you with the facts ," said Mary
Barra, " and once you have, use them to make sure that does not happen
again ." Announced that Kenneth Feinberg is responsible for determining how to compensate the families of the victims . The lawyer is known for his work after the 11- S , the attacks of Boston and the BP spill .
Along with CEO David Friedman was appearing , the agency responsible for regulating road safety. There was also criticism in recent days to his team for their inaction to the problem. However, he directed the blame to the manufacturer , saying in his
testimony that "GM had critical information that would have helped
identify the defect ."
Tim
Murphy , chairman of the subcommittee to the investigation launched
three weeks ago by the Congress finds that there was "a clear failure of
communication" between the heads of GM and the regulator . " Here,
Michael Burgess added that NHTSA had twice, in 2007 and in 2009, for an inquiry and let overlook.
If there is a car that represents the old GM, the Chevrolet Cobalt is one of those affected. In
his eagerness not to lose market and contain the fall in profit , under
the direction of Rick Wagoner proceeded to cut costs wherever he could.
Delphi , that supplied the power , was no better at the beginning of the last decade by trimming prices demanded GM.
Barra does not act as a dealer selling and there are few people as committed to GM like her. Do not beat around the bush . "
By the fact that these errors were committed in the past, we will not
shirk our responsibility now or in the future ," he told lawmakers , "
the GM do the right thing today ." He cited as proof the surge of calls to review .
In his speech became clear that cares especially for the user experience when the wheel of their cars are made . His philosophy is that the only way the new GM prosper is to get a good product to market. " Please know that we are determined to make a new standard ," reiterated the CEO in his public intervention.
Both GM and NHTSA are reviewing internal procedures to improve the process of recall of cars with technical faults . The
priority at this time , Friedman said , is to ensure that all affected
vehicles to be repaired quickly and to communicate to drivers on the
risks identified . "It's a complicated case ," he said .
The NHTSA receives about 45,000 complaints related to car safety year. In
the last decade the agency initiated 980 investigations, as results
were 1,299 calls to review affecting 95 million vehicles. "I can not say why it took so long to announce the default, but can tell you that we will know ," he said Barra.
The first study that evaluates the impact of the Internet on the performance of the economy is already available. Their results, however, are not encouraging. The
digitization of the Spanish economy : Diagnosis of obstacles that limit
their development , a collaboration between Adei ( Centre for the
Analysis and Development of Internet ) Afi ( International Financial
Analyst ) and the Institute for International Economics , University of Alicante,
indicates that the digital divide between Spain advanced countries is
narrowing , but still persists and delayed the modernization of the
economy. This , they warn, thus improving productivity postponed.
27% of Spaniards between 16 and 74 has never connected to the Internet
The data make it clear : "In Spain the digital economy represents only 2.5% of GDP, while the EU average is 3.8 %." Barbara
Navarro , president of Google Adei and director for policy and public
affairs in Southern Europe , has thus entered the study. The paper analyzes the impact of the Internet in three specific areas:
public sector modernization , business and technology-based training .
Despite
being away from the results experienced by whites and Nordic countries,
Spain has made significant improvements in the last decade , especially
in the field of digitization of public administration . Nevertheless, there is still room for improvement in terms of transparency and big data , the report said. Moreover, in terms of digital and the development of " smart companies " literacy , travel is still very long .
Three out of ten micro- were not connected to the grid in 2012
Emilio
Ontiveros , president of Afi , has detailed " are small and medium
enterprises that contribute to the country's trade balance " , as they
represent around 95 % of Spanish - business network for a total of about
three million . The
fragmentation and specialization of the economy prevent Internet
becoming a "driver of entrepreneurship " because its penetration in this
scenario is limited to three in ten micro- were not connected to the
network in 2012, and that had a connection , only 28.6 % had a website, with the study . The consequences? " Higher costs , impediments to create economies of scale that increase the international competitiveness ," said Ontiveros . Add to that the difficulty to drive new business models such as e-commerce , and reinvent traditional added .
In
terms of digital literacy , the study indicates that 27 % of Spaniards
between 16 and 74 has never connected to the Internet , a percentage
that does not exceed the digits in the Nordic countries. "
The European Union ," says Navarro, " has announced that in 2015 more
than 900,000 jobs will be unfilled for lack of digital competition."
