Colleagues,

Can I draw your attention to a new web resource we are starting to build up. The Open University has a partnership with the BBC. A recent part of that collaboration is around a series of business documentaries (Under the collective banner of the "The Money Programme"). We have created a website that week by week will provide learning materials to accompany the series, covering topics such as brands, networks, innovation, decision making etc. The BBC also provide supporting materials describing programme content, exploring related business issues and linking to other relevant stories.

The materials available will grow week by week over this current and future series. Currently they are mostly text, but over time will be supplemented by other media.

If you are interested to take a look, the url is http://open2.net/money, the associated BBC website is http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/in_depth/business/money_programme/default.stm

The materials are pitched at a general audience with an interest in business topics, but may also have some value for students.

Mark,

This is really useful; I use the BBC programmes (Money programme, Blood
on the Carpet, Trouble at the top etc) quite extensivly, so additiional
material, even text base is a real bonus.

Many thanks

George

I agree that this site was very useful. I already found two articles I
can integrate into my classes. I also like that the resources aren't
necessarily US based. Also, I can follow-up on the article by finding
the original research papers the articles are drawn from (e.g.,
perceptions and decision-management).

Thanks for the link.

Best,
