Given the following passage

"Since over half of GE's revenue is derived from financial services, it is arguably a financial company with a manufacturing arm. It is also one of the largest lenders in countries other than the United States, such as Japan. 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]",

answer the following question. Note that the answer is present within the text.

Question: What are some of GE's competitors?
Westinghouse, Tyco, and others
The text says that "another wave (consisting of Westinghouse, Tyco, and others) tried and failed to emulate GE's success." This implies that these companies are competitors with GE. Therefore the correct answer is "Westinghouse, Tyco, and others"..
