This document outlines a strategic plan for General Motors (GM) over a 4-year period. It begins with an external analysis of the automotive industry and GM's competitors. An internal analysis then examines GM's processes, structure, suppliers and need to invest in new technology. Three alternatives are presented: building an in-house plant, producing at Fisher Body's plant, or acquiring another manufacturer. The recommendation is to build an in-house plant to gain maximum control and flexibility. The implementation section provides a high-level overview of tactical, short, medium and long-term plans. Tactical plans include forming teams and communicating the strategy. Short-term plans focus on marketing and technology acquisition. Medium-term plans expand production capabilities
