Hmm - all that outsourcing to maximise profit margins so targets could be met - another great example of shortermism! What ever happened to long term planning and sustainable strategies.
8 years ago I could see this happening so why could the management not see it? (the answer is they could, but their greedy need for a big fat bonus impaired their judgement).
And now we are all paying for it by way of this recession...
The Saudi Arabians are building up their manufacturing infrastructure - why is this I wonder - could they be planning for the future when the oil runs dry!
