BusinessWeek.com today spins a tale about a company that boldly outlined its own “brand of hope” on the day before President Barack Obama’s inauguration, but in just 10 weeks since has lost its “vision” and now has “little choice but to play defense.” It’s a gripping drama, but there’s only one problem: it’s not true. As readers of GE Reports know firsthand, there’s been a flurry of deals, partnerships, research investments, and innovation.
