Mech is right; GM, Ford, and Chrysler caused all of their own problems. I worked in Fisher Body Plant Number One in Flint in 1960. We Built Buick sedans and Chevy wagons. The guys I worked with tried to build the best car they could.
Maybe DeLorean wasn't a very good manufacturing manager. He was an auto designer wasn't he? Was he also an engineer? I don't remember. I have not read his book. My experience is that failed entrepreneurs write books to put the blame for their failure on someone else.
