' I happen to believe that medicine and religion go hand in hand and that sort of thing can happen ...'

Medium is the Message
The success of Britain's economy depends largely on the effectiveness of its industry. In the past quarter of a century it has been fashionable to believe in economies of scale, and for businesses to merge into larger and larger units - often encouraged by Government or its agencies. There is now growing evidence that the really efficient parts of industry are the small to medium ones. Mary Goldring examines the performance of companies of different size and asks whether shot-gun marriages between firms are counter-productive. Producer GREVILLE HAVENHAND
