University Partnerships
AM General partnered with the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business to gain insight from MBA students on a real-world, strategic decision being considered by the company. The students were introduced to our operations, provided industry insight and asked to provide an analysis of the competitive landscape and specific growth opportunities with their recommendations presented to AM General executives. This program, and other robust relationships AM General has developed with various universities, have allowed the company to leverage and support the emerging talent from academia. These partnerships have allowed the company to not only participate and advance automotive system research, but also apply these learnings to the modernization of the Humvee family of vehicles. As a technologically-advanced company in a competitive environment, AM General is a strong advocate for supporting the innovative ideas and fresh perspectives often found on college campuses throughout the country.
