Extension of the field of predation: The sale of Alstom to General Electric
Coussi, Olivier
Extension of the field of predation: The sale of Alstom to General Electric - 2020.
95
In 2014, the energy branch of the Alstom group was sold to General Electric, causing a number of tribulations at the highest level of French institutional spheres to the point of triggering both a parliamentary inquiry and a judicial inquiry. This case encourages an analysis of the events through the theoretical prism of agility and strategic paralysis. An in-depth study of the mechanisms at work reveals a new mode of economic predation, the armed arm of which is the extraterritoriality of American law, combined with persistent cultural behavior linked to arrogance.
