RETAIL "'Bigger is better' is not always so!   Lehman Brothers, Enron, One Tel, HIH, the dinosaurs and even the Titanic ... spring to mind.  Alive, small, nimble, energetic, dynamic, hopeful, growing, prosperous - these are the attributes that I look for in an economy or a nation that signal better times ahead!" Lyn Vickery GENERAL COMMENTS The concentration of business into ever fewer and ever larger retail chains is noncompetitive and very unhealthy for the economy, especially from the point of view of future employment.  A healthy retail sector trickles back to the rest of the economy.  If retail is sick then manufacturing, growers and resource suppliers will all be battling.  As Sir Charles Court once very aptly put it "Salesman are the shock troops of the economy.  No sales = no wealth." GLOBAL ACTION does not hold that bigger is better and accordingly will review all of the legislation governing the operation of the retail sector with a view to creating a far more dynamic and healthy economy.
