WASHINGTON, April 3 (Reuters) - The new chief executive of General Motors has embraced a change of direction for the automaker and is working on a plan to make the firm economically viable, White House economic adviser Austan Goolsbee said on Friday.
Goolsbee said GM CEO Fritz Henderson, who took over for ousted CEO Rick Wagoner, was "considering all the various options to make it a viable plan going forward and to avoid an uncontrolled liquidation."
"It's clear he's embracing a change of direction and they're trying to work on a viable plan," he told Reuters Financial Television.
