Creative destruction

The new SAAB seems to better than anything that has come out of the previously GM-owned car manufacturer for a long time. Maybe it's PR work that has effectively positioned the new 9-5 as a great car. Or maybe it's a live example of Jospeh Schumpeter's idea of Creative Destruction – that past production resources must be destroyed in order to give way for innovation. For a corporation like GM that's evidently unable to renew itself, the best solution forward might a total dismantlement.
