On Conspiracy Theories

Over the last week we got a lot of positive feedback on the blog.  However, one or two people accused me of scaremongering or peddling conspiracy theories.

Having the benefit of working in multinational public companies earlier in my career and more recently at a senior level I can assure you that every CEO and executive team of note either has a "five year plan" or is in the process of developing one.

Quite simply there is almost always a strategic plan; it will have been agreed with the company board, and generally where there is significant debt by the banks funding the business.

In the case of Marfrig, they have been exceptionally active in the M&A market in the last three years.  They almost certainly have a clear driving vision, Moy Park appears to be a cornerstone of their plans, and the plan is much bigger than just dominating the Northern Ireland market!!

Worth remembering that one man's conspiracy theory is another man's strategic plan.... and where billions of dollars of investment is involved there is always a plan!

Best,

Danny
