�Our businesses are closely integrated,� said Immelt. �They share leading-edge business initiatives, excellent financial disciplines, a tradition of sharing talent and best practices, and a culture whose cornerstone is absolutely unyielding integrity. Without these powerful ties, we could actually merit the label �conglomerate� that people often inaccurately apply to us. That word does not apply to GE� . What we have is a company of diverse benefits whose sum is truly greater than the parts.�
