...they were able to eliminate a mass of duplications and redundancies in their systems--for example, tens of thousands of customers who were listed several times in databases, alongside vendors who had gone out of business. Among other things, the exercise has shown that Nestle doesn't leverage its size well and often neglects to get volume discounts when different divisions buy paper clips or shipping pallets from the same suppliers.

But today the picture of exclusionary Australia, the continent-size British island just below Asia, has almost faded away.
