...result is that for all his ambition to usher in a new era of growth, Brabeck is not about to follow the radical--and financially successful--example of one of Nestle's main rivals, the Anglo-Dutch Unilever group. Unilever has taken a machete to its operations over the past three years, cutting the number of its brands by half to focus on 400 key products and shutting 83 of its 250 manufacturing facilities.

Similarly, the Internet giant Google told a Congressional subcommittee that it failed to obtain visas for 70 engineers who are currently working overseas rather than in California as a result. This policy is especially problematic for college students, who must show that they have at least completed the requirements for their bachelor’s degree in order to apply for a visa.
