Industry, Company & Coutry Reports & New Round-up

Hello and apologies for the belated blog post for last week. I've been incredibly busy meeting lots of second year students and taking you through finding Industry, Company & Country reports on key databases. I hope you all found it useful and it was lovely to see you all. I also have a first library session with the MBA students which was very enjoyable and hopefully illuminated some of the resources available. Don't forget to email me or make an appointment if you need any further help or missed your session.

So a few articles I found interesting last week. First a video analysis on Tesco's current financial woes, which has been quite dramatic given the high street standard has suffered a massive drop in share price and in like for like sales. Where can Tesco go from here? The article is a fascinating look at how demands on the supply chain and managing them are a crucial part of business and are also driving technological innovation.  This is an article on 'The Spotify Effect' and how Sweden has become the model country for the streaming industry.

Tow articles now on career and job preparation; one on how to find and make the best of work experience. Work experience is obviously becoming ever more important in terms of career success and you will probably all be looking for internships and work experience in the summer, if you are not going on placements as part of your course. The second is on tips about preparing for your first job interview, but works for second and third interviews too and is well worth a read!
