Boom and Bust blog (03 Feb)
Have you read any of the postings on the 'Boom and Bust' blog, over at Biz/ed Network? There are loads of thought-provoking entries on topics ranging from the takeover of Cadbury, the non-appearance of the recessionary crimewave, reflections on the end of the statistical slump, to Toyota and Kaizen when the Muda hits the fan, and the fallout from the debt bubble bursting. Each entry points to key sources of further online reading and, as we put up more content, it's building up to an interactive commentary on the business and economic issues of our time. Remember that you and your students can comment on any of the entries. We'd love to hear what you think about this feature! Once registered, go to the blog section in Business Studies to access this great new content! 
Tourism on Biz/ed share (18 Dec)
Have you checked out our Tourism on Biz/ed share product? Created to support our market-leading textbook, ‘Tourism: A Modern Synthesis’, the site offers video case studies, suggested answers to chapter tasks, together with blogs and podcasts on major themes in the tourism sector. The most recent addition looks into how tourism destinations are marketed. Find out how they develop and exert competitive advantage. Discover new teaching and learning ideas, critically evaluate destination benchmarking and catch a glimpse of the future. This is a comprehensive tour of the ideas and recent developments in destination marketing. Access to the site is free, but educators must purchase their copy of the book in order to view the full range of resources.
BRIC Videos in International Business (25 Jan)
To accompany our blog on the BRIC economies in International Business on Biz/ed Network, we've selected ten top video clips on the theme. They're available to view and comment on by selecting 'Search' from the 'Resource Search' box on the front page of International Business. We're keen to find out what use you make of these clips and whether you'd like us to host any more. You can upload your own files, perhaps showing how you use these videos in your teaching, or sharing a worksheet you've created, by clicking on 'Shared Files' on the left-hand side of the dashboard, then taking the easy steps that follow. Let us know how you get on with this new feature on Biz/ed share. To access these resources, just follow the link and sign-up for Network. Then go to International Business via the Business Studies channel.
In the Pod (18 Jan)
Our podcast bank now contains ten recordings on travel and tourism themes. The most recently added is about ICT and e-Tourism. It features author Professor Stephen Page and Biz/ed writer Andy Hargrave. The podcasts will be useful to teachers and learners in many business-related subjects. You can download the recordings or sign up to the feed to receive them as soon as they are published.
