I want to know the answer to the following question:
Besides ITT Corporation, which two companies tried to emulate GE, but failed by the mid-1980's?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Even though the first wave of conglomerates (such as ITT Corporation, Ling-Temco-Vought, Tenneco, etc.) fell by the wayside by the mid-1980s, in the late 1990s, another wave (consisting of Westinghouse, Tyco, and others) tried and failed to emulate GE's success.[citation needed]". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
