Germany's next step

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Will Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel offer concessions to Greece, after the elections where anti-austerity parties failed to win a majority? Lesley Curwen talks to Wolfgang Nowak, a Deutsche Bank executive who served as policy adviser to former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, and Clemens Fuest of the Oxford University Centre for Business Taxation who's an adviser to the German finance ministry. Plus, Sir Terry Leahy who made Tesco into a global supermarket group argues that loyalty is one of the key factors which brings success in business. And Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times takes a look at gender equality at work and whether women have to smash the glass ceiling while also doing the ironing.
