And should it be used for every type of company?

Phoenix now that you have successfully managed the merger with Asda and Sainsburys.
We have a local Waitrose and just across the road is an Aldi, now, at the moment, I have to buy food in Waitrose and then nip accross to Lidl to buy cleaning products, how handy would it be if they could merge?
If I could leave that with you to organise, I would know that we were in safe hands. Personally I think the merger would be a meeting of minds! ?

Carrots regularise motions?? Sorry!

Or Carrots reverse Myopia?

Now then Situpstraight, are you muddling up your budget supermarkets? Re-reading your post, it looks as if you are asking for a triple merger, Waitrose, Aldi & Lidl!

BTW Lidl ribeye steak, at around £5.50 for 2 good sized ones, has been our Saturday night staple for yonks, absolutely delicious, not had a duff one yet. And their Cava at £4.99 is very palatable!

Very rarely use Waitrose these days, my weekly shop is pretty much divided between Morrisons and Lidl, as they are both in Bideford. Nearest town only has Waitrose and a very small Co-Op.

Sorry phoenix I thought a triple merger would give you something to get your teeth into! I guess you might need a week to recuperate after the S & A merger.....

Thank you Situpstraight, it doesn't do to rush these things.

For example, my first (rather hasty) thought was that we might call the new stores "Widdles", but perhaps that's what comes from not thinking things through properly.

I saw that someone online suggested a merger between Facebook and Twitter - to be called Twitface!!

Sunseeker when both of those platforms were maybe not in their infancy, but definitely hadn't reached senior school, I would often refer to them in exactly that way, particularly during business meetings when we were discussing ways to use them.

(Just found it easier to combine the two!)

It seems to me that this is not very important.

Customer Relationship Management is vital for any business that wants to keep its customers coming back for more. Surely that’s common sense? Workforce Relationship Management is also important, but all too often neglected.

Clever though. First Someone to reopen an old thread and then the invitation by someone else to click on the link.
