A very interesting programme about Tesco on Panorama last night. Try to watch it on BBC –iplayer. I have also recently watched the film about the Apple founder Steve Jobs. Lots of good discussion points e.g. innovation, entrepreneurship, management style and the power of shareholders. Unfortunately we don’t have enough time in class to watch just now but recommended for watching at home if you get the chance.

Big Firms’ Halting On Line Ordering in Scotland!
According to the BBC, some big firms (e.g. Tesco) have halted on-line ordering in Scotland because they cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas. Some others (e.g. M&S) have cancelled home delivery. Boots have suspended their next day service. What are their customers’ alternatives for Christmas shopping? Who will benefit? Who may take advantage? Note that these are major decisions by the retailers who anticipated high sales. Who made the decision to halt on-line ordering?
