|  | | | | We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.
In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.

Cash for ideas
Prize competitions for scientific and technological innovation have worked in the past, and some think that prize contests might bring answers to some of the significant human challenges of today, such as diseases in the Third World that aren't being tackled at the moment.
Peter Day examines the power of prizes - from affordable space travel to a cure for ageing.
