Andydee Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Aldi are still on foot operated log splitters, vegetarian pate and wood turning lathes. A lesson for tesco there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgoefc Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) Shareholders want continued growth.. Profits are fine but if profits fall shareholders ain't happy.... Companies have issues when the growth slows .. And therein lMO lies the biggest problem with British companies, especially in the manufacturing sector. "Shortermism" leads to poor strategy and rank poor management and investment decisions. We need to look at medium to long term. Many German companies I used to deal with, used to invest and look to a ten to fifteen year outcome rather than 3 years. It got so bad at my last outfit, that the banks were insisting on reforcasts on a bimonthly basis, oblivious to how much time it took out of the time needed for actual productivity and development.

gonzo Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Sainsbury's have just spent £19 million opening a giant new superstore in Blackpool town centre. It's even got a dentist in it and some lovely benches outside for the crack addicts to sunbathe on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
