That could be part of the reason. Keep in mind, though, that the Big Three were high prestigious companies for a long time. During that time, they had no difficulty recruiting top talent within the auto industry. For the most part, the Big Three did not look outside the auto industry for its top managers until recently. This could have contributed to their long decline and corresponding inability to turn themselves around quickly. Thanks for the comment. That could be part of the reason.

The mid-west is quite insular and bland. And even though these company may have design centers and offices on either coasts, the big wig mangement are from the mid-west. I wonder what kind of talent they are able to recruit to Detroit. So shouldn't GM or Ford move their corporate headquaters?
