Q : Is there any evidence of strategic management
                 ingredient?



                 A : In the period up to 1991 no clear evidence of  a
                 strategic management ingredient in the business can be

                 found.  Resources were not directed at supporting new

                 and developing businesses. In the post 1991 period the

                 company is managed as a portfolio of businesses each at a
                 different stage in its life cycle and each requiring different

                 resource inputs.
