The media is too concentrated, too few people own too much. There's really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear. It's not healthy.

To be honest with you, I worry about concentration of ownership in media, where you have a handful of media conglomerates largely controlling what we see, hear and read.

Corporate culture matters. How management chooses to treat its people impacts everything - for better or for worse.

It all sounds almost silly, but the fact is that the only way to change a corporate culture is to just change it.

Ultimately, what any company does when it is successful is merely a lagging indicator of its existing culture.

Businesses often forget about the culture, and ultimately, they suffer for it because you can't deliver good service from unhappy employees.

When there is a huge force pressing down on freedoms, sub-cultures with more creativity and power are likely to form.

And this fear that US models are replacing everything else now spills over from the sphere of culture into our two remaining categories: for this process is clearly, at one level, the result of economic domination - of local cultural industries closed down by American rivals.

This great, though disastrous, culture can only change as we begin to stand off and see... the inveterate materialism which has become the model for cultures around the world.
