		<description><![CDATA[(And how small and middle-market companies can avoid this painful experience) Back in June 2009, we wrote about General Motors on the  day Fritz Henderson announced the company’s bankruptcy filing.  At that time, we highlighted the simple business principles that would have been brought to bear, should this company survive its unfathomable decline.
