Available for over a year

Japan's back in recession. The government is calling the news shocking, having spent billions trying to stimulate growth. What are the implications for the wider global economy? Also, on Global Entreprise Week, we hear from enterprise expert Linda Rottenburg of the US-based mentoring company Endeavor, about some of the myths and realities of making it in business. Two of her former proteges, Jordanian entrepreneurs, Zafer Younis and Ramzi Halaby of The Online Project, offer their salutory tale, which includes launching one hit company, only to ditch it and launch another. And our regular commentator, Lucy Kellaway of the Financial Times, unpicks the PR spin of one of the world's leading management consultancies, McKinsey. She suggests that some of the truths about how to make it in business, can be better done at home.
