Why Doesn't Britain Have a Huauei of its own?

Peter Brooks
This was the headline in the Guardian Opinion section for May 8 th 2019 written by Aditya Chakrabortty.


To answer this question he examines the history of GEC after Arnold Weinstock left in 1996  and <quote> "all hell broke loose" with the appointment of George Simpson (an accountant), and John Mayo (from the Merchant Banking world).


Even companies outside of Britain (examples RCA and Westinghouse)  have been afflicted by the same upper management failures.


What does Britain have to do to create a business climate that will allow world class companies to thrive?

    One of the UK's biggest problem is the " quick rich" sales of it's successful start up companies to "vampire" oversea organizations.


    It is my suggestion that if the government supplies seed money to say a University started company then the applicable patents shall be owned by the Government for (say) 20 years.


    Also limit sales of the company to overseas buyers (so that they have a majority ownership) for again (say) 20 years.
