How Small Businesses are Handling the Downturn - An Update
Recommend on Google+
This excellent series on the BBC website has a new update. The idea is a clever one - track the monthly views of 10 small businesses, operating in a variety of sectors. As we progress through the coming difficult months, it will be interesting to gauge the mood of the 10 entrepreneurs concerned. The November reports (now available) make very useful reading for Business Teacher and Students. I particularly like the selection of a “key current concern”. These vary from hoping that suppliers will remain in business to finding the right quality staff. Much to discuss with students simply from these brief insights.
