Robinson's Granada decides against demerger

Article Abstract:

Executives at UK conglomerate Granada have decided that there would be no benefits to be gained from demerger, even though this is now a fashionable business strategy. Gerry Robinson, the company's chairman, is highly respected in the City of London, and this means that this decision will almost certainly not be challenged.
