Dual Listing requests and other cultural 'absurdities'
Global businesses must have more of these war stories. We will see them again. If only that European and now African businesses are using recessionary conditions and development as excuses to bring down their hammer on the world. For this, they are using parochial and hithertho untenable institutions / policies that were at the root of all the misdemeanours of socialism and then for some of the backwardness of France, Western Europe and the black Continent that they successfully colonialised 200 years ago.

For me, that is a sure fire sign of guaranteed success and growth for the entire next decade just like any other. That, finally Arcelor bowed to commercial pressure to make Arcelor Mittal happen was made to happen by people who knew the need for change .
