Firms can no longer bank on a home advantage

Article Abstract:

Many companies seek to distance themselves from their national culture when trading abroad. However, it is likely that, for most companies, a single national culture will remain dominant for a further generation. What people will regard as a new international business culture will slowly emerge, but it will not really be international at all. Instead, it will be adapted versions of US management models. In the UK, large companies will gradually become less British as they become more international. However, a certain cultural national identity will remain.

Growing big in Britain brings its problems

Article Abstract:

It has been very unusual in the UK over recent years for small companies to expand to the point of gaining world-class status. It appears that entrepreneurs in the UK are generally satisfied with quite modest success when they could actually expand their business further. There are also practical barriers to business growth, including high levels of capital gains tax and inheritance tax and regulatory burdens on larger companies.
