By any measure—particularly financial ones—General Electric is a big company. It employs over 300,000 people in some 100 countries. Its 2002 revenues were $131.7 billion. It places number 5 on the Fortune 500 list. Its total 2002 assets are $575 billion. We’re not talking a small company here. It is huge. General Electric consists of 13 business units. There are Aircraft Engines and Plastics; Consumer Finance and Power Systems; Industrial Systems and Transportation Systems; Medical Systems and Specialty Materials. And all of these (and more) are sizeable in and of themselves.
So, what does this have to do with music?
