This Is What's Wrong With Australia, page-4

I don't thing the problem is with Australia, moreso that of FFT.

The leading reason that was given fot the takeover/merger was to increase the synergy between the 2 companies in order to grow the business.

Synergy can be created between 2 or more organisations at any time to produce greater results for both organisations. A simple example is the supply of McDonalds hamburger meats by FJ Walker......a synergy of 2 seperate organistions that benefits both. On a more complex level........as someone here mentioned SMN.....there was a synergy adopted by SMN the used the manufacturing skills of Anodyne to grow SMN from a $10 million market cap company to a $100million+ market cap company. The intergration was such that the CEO of Anodyne sat on the board of SMN to help manage the synergy. There was no plans to merge or takover inthat example, just a mutual working together of both companies. Happens all the time in business..............

So, the question is.......why was it not used here to grow the business of MSP and FFT. Or was it. The chart of FFT suggests not.
