桶（Buckets）
A word invoked by Welch when he discussed the Internet’s impact on the company. To understand the full effect of his e-Initiative, he urged managers to look at three buckets:
這是韋爾奇在討論互聯網對通用電氣公司的影響時所用的一個字眼。為了解他的“電子商務倡議”的全面影響，他敦促管理人員去查看三只“桶”：
1. Procurement, in which the Internet now plays a vital role via daily auctions with suppliers worldwide;
1、采購：通過與全球各地的供應商進行的日常拍賣，如今互聯網已經在采購工作中發揮了至關重要的作用；
2. Productivity, another key Welch theme, which has been dramatically boosted by a new digitally enabled corporation;
2、生產率：這是另一項關鍵的韋爾奇主題，新型的數字使能企業已經大幅刺激了生產率的提高；
3. The customer, the ultimate beneficiary of the e-Initiative. Thanks to the speed of the Internet, GE has shortened customer response time and provided more information to its most
important constituency.
3、客戶：他們是“電子商務倡議”最終的受益者。由于互聯網的速度，通用電氣公司縮短了客戶響應時間，并能為它最重要的客戶群體提供更多的信息。
