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.
