GM is a publicly traded company that we are all familiar with as a brand.


Recently, the automotive industry has gone through significant changes. One of these changes is movement towards electric (EV) and hybrid car and implementation of self-driving capabilities.


Some recent articles have examined the issues for transforming traditional auto manufacturing companies such as GM, Ford and VW.


Your assignment is to do some research and then to analyze EV implementation by GM with assumptions that you need to make. You should justify your assumptions. The goal is to develop a descriptive case with an excel analysis. Again, I am not supplying you with any data and asking you to come up with the data and the relevant assumptions .


You should list your assumptions (data is not given, and you need to make some research to develop your assumptions), and do an excel analysis with your data to arrive to a recommendation. Make sure to include non-financial as well as financial items in your analysis on evaluating these decisions by GM.
