	Gas Turbine History
		These gas turbines were largely the development of Brown Boveri and Company in Switzerland and intended to be an offshoot of their development of the Velox boilers.
		With this setup in their erection shops, Brown Boveri realized that the compressor, combustor, and turbine provided for a workable gas turbine which could be turned to power production.
		This led Brown Boveri to produce a gas turbine that was installed at Neuchatel in Switzerland for stand by service in a bomb proof installation in 1939.

		The company is committed, for example, to "communicating openly with interested parties, in the communities and countries where ABB operates as well as internally about its environmental performance." Here too, however, the company’s record is seemingly at odds with its rhetoric.

		As companies increase in size, senior managers are typically less accountable to the lower ranks of the organisation and to shareholders.
		In sum, as companies contemplate mergers or acquisitions, they have to take into account not only the economies of scale they so often have as an underpinning for the proposed deal, but also how to avoid the diseconomies of scale, how to organise for the future, and how to make sure they maintain focus.
		Such executives sometimes fall into the trap of pursuing “glamour deals.” A glamour company is a company with a high relative valuation and where the executives are lauded by the business press and analysts.
