Business Daily checks out your local supermarket. Are they the cathedrals of convenience they claim to be? We speak to the world's acknowledged maestro of the supermarket, Sir Archie Norman. He became chairman and chief executive of the struggling British chain Asda and turned it round before it was sold to Wal-Mart. He's now revamping the Australian chain, Coles. Also, there may be conflict and strife - but there's always a beer in the Congo. We visit a Kinshasha brewery for a lesson in business survival.
