Size Matters
Abstract:
Nanotech? Check. Molecular medicine? Got it. GE's Jeff Immelt is building the future, one billion-dollar business at a time. How would you like to have Thomas Edison and Jack Welch as your warm-up acts? Four days before 9/11, Jeff Immelt took the wheel of the global empire of media properties, financial services, consumer electronics, and jet engines collectively known as General Electric. Today, the 47-year-old CEO is betting billions of dollars on everything from nuclear energy to the next Friends.
