GE: Consistent Investment in R&D

•Each year we put 6 percent of our industrial revenue back into technologies.•So much that more than half the products we sell today didn't exist 10 years ago.•An American renewal has to be built on technology.

Our R&D budget is the one budget that isn't being cut in this downturn, and that's a course of action I'd recommend to every company that wants to get through this economic crisis even stronger than before.

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

and wisdom to know the difference.
