威爾許的年代,是奇異最輝煌的年代,他大舉併購,任內進行約600件併購案,包括買下RCA而獲得旗下的NBC電視台。威爾許時代的大里程碑,就是聞名遐邇的奇異融資。這個融資公司成為奇異的核心,將奇異從一家製造業本位的企業便完金融控股公司,而在2000年將GE的股價帶上史上的高峰。奇異金融這種不用蓋工廠就能賺錢的金融操作模式,卻在金融海嘯重創奇異。美國金融穩定監管委員會在2013年判定奇異融資為「具系統重要性金融機構」(Systemically Important Financial Institution,簡稱SIFI),必須受聯邦政府監管。從此奇異金融不能自由配置資產,也讓這家奇異的核心逐漸成為包袱。也因此有外媒批評,威爾許帶著「全球最佳執行長」的明星光環離開,卻埋下奇異日後的災難。https://www.cw.com.tw/article/article.action?id=5087049
