Business Management in Recession

When the global financial crisis hit in 2008, there was a worldwide recession -- virtually every economy was hit worldwide. The UK, like many European countries, the United States and nations throughout Asia, took a severe blow, and while many were worse hit, the reality is that Britain faces many years before its economy recovers to a position of strength. This film looks as the implications of economic recession -- how individuals, families and businesses are hit, and what the outlook is ahead. It also examines the positive aspects of tough economic times and strategies that can be employed to minimize the impact and build from a position of strength for the future. A range of interviewees, including Westminster University' s Jonathan Pike, John Philpott from the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, Ian Clarke , from the company 'This Planet Earth', Jim Slater, marketing director for Costa Coffee, Keith Potts, managing director and CEO of Jobsite Group, and Gareth Sear from Business Link.
