Well it's been a cold and blustery week so congratulations to all those MSO students who fought their way through the wind and rain to come to Library Essential Skills sessions. I hope you found them useful. Let's all hope the weather improves soon!
Seems to be a good time to be a London tech start-up with small London based companies being bought up by Silicon Valley giants, so perhaps we should all be practicing our coding. Apple is committing to cleaning up its supply chain, not only improving conditions in their Chinese factories but also trying to ensure that the minerals used are conflict-free. This gos to show the growing importance of CSR to Big Business. Global markets might struggle this year as the world slowly recovers from recession. On a related theme, the Eurozone Bank Regulators is advocating letting weak Banks die rather than propping them up as many European Governments have done during the crisis. And finally, Dame Alison Carnwath is recommending women be allowed 6 year career breaks to be mothers before returning a continuing with their careers. Quite a radical suggestion but an interesting one given this continuing gender gap in Business.
