New on Network (25 Nov)
What's been making the business and economics headlines recently? Much of what you'll have heard or read is reflected on Biz/ed Network over on our new site, Biz/ed share. With coverage of the fight for Cadbury, the state of the UK economy, consolidation in the airline industry, getting air passengers to pay extra, and the struggle for growth in the developing world, there's been much to prompt your thinking over the past month. You can find this material in the 'Boom and Bust' blog in the Business Studies channel. Use it to stimulate discussion board debates with your teaching groups, or to comment directly onto the blog.
