This DVD contains two programmes from the Spring 2007 series.Virtual World, Real Millions
More and more people are turning their backs on the real world and instead spending increasing amounts of time on their computer in places that actually don’t exist. They’re called Virtual Worlds. Millions of us have already taken up residence there and a new breed of entrepreneur has realised there’s big money to be made in cyber space.
The AA: Rescue or Wrong Turn?
Has a private equity takeover been good or bad for the AA? Since the private equity firm Permira helped take over the AA in 2004, about one third of its workforce of 10,000 have lost their jobs. Former award-winning AA patrolman Steve Thompson is among several current and former AA staff who tell the Money Programme that private equity has, in their view, damaged the company they love.
