The research center in Bangalore, India, is also expected to remain open, but those in Shanghai, Munich, Germany, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil would be shut down. No job cuts would occur in Niskayuna either as part of the reorganization of the research program. *** The moves to close the three research centers abroad are part of a broader effort to rightsize GE's international operations, especially in areas where markets had matured to the point where the research could be better absorbed by the businesses in those countries.
