ABSTRACT
A couple of Seers managers joined Tony Rogers with the typically Dutch trays of filled baguettes and glasses of milk, which markedly stood out against the Belgian tables laden with three-course meals and wine. The Dutch were right—the colleagues in Brussels seemed a lot more adept at politics. On the commencement of his internship, Roger immediately gets sucked into the tug of war between the Dutch and the Belgian parts of the group's merchant banking. As Roger's interview count grows, he develops an affinity for the Dutch side of the battle, which his Amsterdam colleagues see as a fight for economic rationality set against Belgian politicking. As Roger walked back to his office, he pondered how strange it was that he, a humble student intern, became a spy in this international job massacre. International growth is essential if people are to survive as a Group and there are very likely to be further international acquisitions.
