About the author: "For Sir Ron Trotter, the proudest moment in a stellar business career was his announcement on October 22, 1980, that his company, Challenge Corporation, was to merge with two other major companies, Fletcher Holdings and Tasman Pulp and Paper, to form a New Zealand-based corporate giant, Fletcher Challenge. However, he is likely to be best remembered as a principal architect of Fletcher Challenge, which for a decade, thanks to its substantial overseas and local investments, was internationally regarded as New Zealand Inc.

The company assembled Toyota cars, was a major builder, produced steel and most other building materials, operated the dominant farm supply company, exported newsprint and logs, operated on a global scale in pulp and paper, and owned substantial oil and gas reserves here and in Canada."
