BUSS4 UK Recession - Data Burn

Just under 3,000 BUSS4 students joined us last month for an intensive day preparing for the BUSS4 exam in June 2010.  In the first session in the workshop we took a guided tour through the key macroeconomic changes in the UK economy during the recession, and the evidence of overall business response.  The streamed presentation below was used during the session, alongside a series of quickfire revision activities.  Obviously most of the key learning during the workshop was through the speaker commentary and student practice, but hopefully the presentation might be useful for other BUSS4 students ahead of the exam.
