I spent the last week with a guy that recently retired from GM Management. His description was spot-on:
-- Direct Expense: GM was nearly criminal in its pursuit of lowered Direct Expense. They would prefer to put a supplier out of business than accept a two-cent-per-car increase.

-- Indirect Expense: GM was nearly criminal in its neglect to manage, or even care about Indirect Expense. Management perks (finally killed by Perot), labor benefits, facilities upgrades, etc.,, etc., etc.
