Editor Allan Leibowitz comments on the news of the week

As the new year gets under way, there will, of course, be much speculation about what lies ahead. We canvass some of that in our lead story this week.

If we have to look for a management philosophy for 2022, perhaps the starting point should be the Italian saying popularised in the 1950s Doris Day song: Que sera, sera Whatever will be, will be.
