Management professor Tim Hubbard recently participated in a Knowledge@Wharton podcast about General Electric's decision to replace CEO John Flannery.

“I don’t think a lot of the time they disagreed necessarily with the decisions [Flannery made], but once the decisions were made, the pace of change wasn’t keeping up with their expectations,” said Tim Hubbard, management professor at the University of Notre Dame’s Mendoza College of Business, also on the Knowledge@Wharton radio show.
