1. Hanson
   Despite the takeover of Eastern Group, it was becoming increasingly apparent that Hanson's days as a conglomerate were numbered. With sales exceeding $17 billion, only very large acquisitions could have any appreciable impact on the company's share price and profits--and there were few of these target companies out there. Furthermore, the trend of the 1990s was away from diversification and toward focusing on core businesses. This was particularly evident in the United States with the breakups of ITT Corp., AT&T Corp., and Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Corp. Other factors that conspired to lead Hanson PLC in a new direction were the continued poor performance of the company's stock, the death of White in August 1995, and the legacy-mindedness of Hanson, who had announced that he would retire in 1997 at the age of 75.
