Secrets of Success

Business Daily

Available for over a year

The Eurozone may be slipping ever deeper into recession but in a neighbouring economy they are busy upgrading forecasts. We'll be discovering how Turkey - once a basket case - has transformed itself into one of the world's fastest growing economies. Silicon Valley is renowned for being the breeding ground for many of the world's greatest technological innovators, spawning tech empires like Apple, Google and Facebook. We ask how this small area of Northern California has held its lead in IT for over three decades? And Lucy Kellaway on why successful managers shouldn't take management fads too seriously. Like fashions in clothes and hair they come and go with the seasons.
