Sir Neil Barker reads the press comment on his latest deal with a self satisfied glow. His enjoyment is only spoilt by his desperate longing for a peerage, fuelled by bitter jealousy of his long term business rival Lord Beavis. When the Prime Minister’s office calls to offer his congratulations he is sure he will be Lord Barker in the New Year’s Honours List.

Based on a multilevel organizational study, their book compares seven plants in six countries on three continents.
