Summary
This programme looks at the impact that e-business has had, and continues to have, on the operations of small and large businesses today. It's not just a case of being up with the latest trends and technology, in some cases, whether or not e-business is embraced by an organisation, can mean the difference between success and failure. The programme looks at what is e-business and how it is used, the potential pitfalls and incorporating ICT into a business operation. Of particular use to teachers and students of Business Studies, ICT and other commerce-related subjects, is the focus on the two case studies in this programme - Snogum and Wishlist. Andrew Coutts from Snogum and Adrian Finlayson from Wishlist speak on a range of areas relevant to the way that their companies, and the commercial world in general, are not only turning to e-business as another way to achieve sales - but relying on it for a major part of their turnover. This programme is an ideal way to introduce e-business to middle and senior level secondary students, and provides an excellent base from which to explore further case studies.

Summary
All businesses are exposed to some level of risk, but when a natural disaster strikes they can suddenly face a variety of unexpected and often extraordinary situations. What happens in a matter of seconds can sometimes take years to rebuild. The 2011 earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand and the 2009 bushfires in Victoria, Australia demonstrated how devastating natural disasters can be for small businesses. This investigative-style programme for middle to senior secondary audiences explores the human cost for businesses affected by natural disasters, but also many of the logistical aspects, such as: assessing property damage, dealing with insurers, monitoring finances, relaunching a business and creating disaster preparation plans. Viewers will appreciate the way people overcome these traumatic experiences and what it's like running a business in the aftermath of a natural disaster.

Summary
The light-hearted approach of this world-famous programme helps take the fear out of financial documents and complex concepts and, although accounts might never become a manager's favourite topic, it does at least make them understandable. Meet two contrasting people - a well-educated company director, and the streetwise owner of a small factory - to see how the whole process of business finance works. Because the success or failure of her manufacturing company is down to her, the factory owner knows the importance of understanding how money goes round the business and how to track and measure it - and she's happy to explain it in everyday language! Having been previously too embarrassed to admit his lack of knowledge, the company director learns from her the difference between key documents and the significance of the balance sheet, profit and loss accounts and cash-flow forecasts. This well-presented and structured programme assumes no prior knowledge of finance, and avoids financial jargon in favour of everyday language to convey the key points. Featuring Dawn French and John Cleese.
