Two years later the new company merged with the Thomas-Houston Company under the banner of General Electric, and has continued to hold the name until the present. General Electric was one of the original 12 companies listed in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and is the only one of the 12 that continues to be part of the Dow Jones today.
As a corporation, General Electric is composed of several business units in a variety of industries. Although perhaps best known to consumers for their retail appliance business, GE is involved in everything from broadcast media to financial services. As a manufacturing corporation, GE produces products as diverse as railroad locomotives and medical imaging equipment. There is virtually no aspect of life in modern America that GE doesn't have a finger in.
Creating alternative sources of energy is a large part of the current corporate culture, and if you are interested in green jobs, then GE is an excellent place to start your search. The ecomaginations division of GE is dedicated to finding, exploiting and expanding alternative energy sources.
As an employer, General Electric is a leader in promoting workplace diversity. The company runs several informal networks for employees of diverse backgrounds. Volunteerism in these and other programs is encouraged throughout the company. Marisa, an employee in the Operations Management Leadership Program, had this to say about working for GE: ''The most rewarding part of my GE experience has been the relationships that I have created with people from all over the world. I have a better understanding of how important corporate relationships are whether it be with my customers, colleagues, competitors and/or employees. My colleagues at GE have enabled me to grow immensely both personally and professionally.''
