Bien manger?

Takeovers and mergers are one thing on domestic soil, quite another when they involve organisations from different countries and different cultures.

If talking about all the jugular issues beforehand (see Dec 25th) is a prerequisite for a love match on home ground, then what about the added dimension of the overseas angle?

This is an area where I have little experience. Thinking about it, maybe in addition to the requirements for a domestic takeover or merger the key to a successful marriage between diverse overseas organisations is the relationship between the two people at the very top. Witness Thatcher and Gorbachev or Blair and Clinton.

I guess that must come down to chemistry but I haven’t even got a grade in that subject.
