Business Stills from our new titles/series

Business NightmaresBusiness Nightmares with Evan Davis, tells the stories of the world’s most momentous business disasters. The three part series examines the nightmares that engulf business in the three crucial areas of product design and manufacture, marketing and public relations, and strategic decision-making.

Disastrous DecisionsIn ‘Disastrous Designs’, we examine some of the biggest strategic mistakes made by companies, mostly motivated by ambition and greed. Freddie Laker started small with his airline, Skytrain, but grew the business too fast, with calamitous results. Cadbury was enveloped in the political storm over rising rates of childhood obesity. Marks and Spencer’s bought preppy outfitters Brooks Brothers but it all ended in costly retreat.

Marketing Mess-UpsIn ‘Marketing Mess-ups’, we explore how some marketing and publicity drives turned into commercial catastrophes. Soft drink Sunny Delight had one of the most successful British product launches ever. But it suffered a sensational fall from grace when its makers were accused of giving the impression that the product was healthier than it really was. We also explore the fundamental business lesson of not insulting your customer, as jewellery retailer Gerald Ratner famously did.

Doomed DesignsIn ‘Doomed Design’, we explore mistakes in product design and manufacture, and learn that some of the most damaging errors are committed when companies are locked in battle with a competitor. Stories include Unilever’s new soap powder that was so powerful it shredded clothes. As for the Mini, it is a design classic, but there was a fundamental problem with its pricing, which was too low.

Background to China’s Communist RevolutionThis programme traces the rise of nationalism in China under the Kuomintang leadership of Sun Yat-Sen and Chiang Kai-Shek, and the emergence of the Communist Chinese Party under Mao Zedong. The causes of China’s political stability are explored from the declining years of the Qing dynasty through to the Wuchang Uprising, the White Terror and the infamous Long March.

Events of China’s Communist RevolutionFollowing the second Sino-Japanese War, China lay in ruins politically and militarily. This programme follows the internal conflict between the Communist People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and the Chinese Nationalist Party (the Kuomintang). Civil war ignites in 1946, setting the stage for the Communist Revolution that will transform and modernise China, though at a great and tragic human cost.

Electricity GenerationThis two part series is designed to introduce students to the issues surrounding the generation of electricity. The series will explore the pros and cons of fossil fuels, nuclear energy as well as a variety of renewable resources. Students will be given a complete insight into the current energy debates, and be encouraged to consider whether 100% renewable electricity is realistic.

Non-RenewablesFossil fuels and nuclear energy still account for over 60% of the UK’s electricity generation and in some countries, their use is even on the rise. As well as containing clear explanations and graphics to illustrate how energy from coal, gas and uranium is used to generate electricity, this resource explores the pros and cons of each fuel source. It includes debates around nuclear safety, fracking, and carbon capture and storage.

Renewables The drive to reduce greenhouse gas emissions means that many governments are trying to decarbonise electricity generation. But some renewables only generate electricity when conditions are right, they are also very location dependent and can often face opposition from local residents. From wind, to solar, biomass, HEP, Tidal, and Geothermal power - as well as explaining how different renewables are used to generate electricity, this programme examines the pros and cons of each energy source. It will encourage students to consider whether 100% renewable electricity is realistic.

Artificial SatellitesThis video explains what artificial satellites are and what they are used for. The video provides a very brief history of artificial satellites, and covers some of the key terms related to artificial satellites. The video also covers the uses of satellites, from the International Space Station, communication and meteorological observations.

CometsThis video explains what a comet is, how they appear from earth and space. The video also describes how comets are formed and how they behave in outer space, and how the differ from other key astronomical objects. The video also shows the key features of comets.

Extraordinary ElectromagentismNearly two hundred years after Faraday wowed his audience by demonstrating electromagnetic induction, this programme takes a variety of exciting and contemporary examples through which to explain the principles behind the phenomenon that has made it possible to produce and distribute electrical energy on a large scale. The programme covers: electric and magnetic fields, electromagnets, the motor effect and electromagnetic induction, particularly concentrating on transformers and Tesla Coils.

Electricity Transmission and DistributionThis resource looks at how electricity is distributed from power station to consumers along the National Grid. As well as giving an overview of the entire distribution network, it also looks at how step up and step down transformers are used to reduce line loss during transmission and to make the voltage safe for use in homes. Other safety features, such as earth rods, insulators and circuit breakers are explained and this programme gives an insight into the part they play in larger scale systems.

Fire SafteyThis video teaches students what to do in the event of a fire. The video explains the most likely cause of a fire in the home, and how students should react in the event of a fire. The video demonstrates the correct procedure for the use of a fire extinguisher, and the different ways to deal with different fire sources, such as petrol and electrical fires.

First Aid for SprainsThis video teaches students what a sprain is, and the affect that it has on the body. The video also demonstrates the correct way to treat minor sprains at home, using an ordinary first aid kit. The video emphasises the importance of rest, icepacks, elevation and compression in the treatment of sprains.

Flow of HeatThis video is designed to demonstrate the different ways in which heat can be transferred, and show how heat from a body at a higher temperature is transferred to one at a lower temperature. The video also explains the three key different methods by which heat can be transferred: conduction, convection and radiation.

Waves, Seismic Imaging and TectonicsWith exciting footage of earthquakes, engaging graphics and interviews with seismic survey teams, this programme provides a fantastic introduction to waves and how they are used. The different types of waves are illustrated and the key terminology of amplitude, wavelength, frequency and period explained through clear graphics. The programme then looks at how different waves behave depending on the nature of the material they are passing through.

Transfer of HeatThe programme examines the three process of heat transfer: conduction, convection and radiation. The programme explains the different ways that is heat is transferred through solids, liquids and gases, and how heat transfers in the absence of a medium. The programme also demonstrates some simple experiments for students to attempt to learn more about the heat transfer processes.
