Showcase: General Motors! 

A quote from “A Clear Day you can see GM” by J. Patrick Wright, dictated by John Z.

The logical result of this, when I was there, was that GM was usually late in the market with new products, slow to respond to quick turns in the marketplace because it didn’t perceive them when they were happening, and the least effective in the automobile industry in its advertising programs.” (page 164) note: this book was written in the mid-1970s.
