A Manchester Business School study argues that cancer charities should combine 
functions to cut costs. Hugh McDonnell’s analysis of financial results from the 
top 25 cancer charities for the years 1992 and 1997 led him to conclude that “back
office areas of operation, such as marketing, fundraising, distribution and use 
of information technology, are obvious areas where costs could be cut.”
