In spite of the ever-increasing size and complexity of industrial companies, important decisions are still made by men, not computers. The men at the top of British industry are as powerful as any Government minister or trades unionist.
How do they use that power? On what basis do they make their decisions? And in whose interest? In the first programme of the series, Christopher Chataway , himself a former Minister for Industrial Development, talks to Sir Arnold Hall , Chairman and Managing Director of Hawker Siddeley Group, whose sales of over £500-million last year ranged from Trident airliners to garden furniture.
Director STUART HARRIS Producer KARL SABBAGH
