It of a bumper round up of interesting stories and articles this month. Starting with two stories on women and their careers. Firstly the BBC looking at the impact of Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In movement and side by side a piece from the Financial Time s looking at the EU calling for more women directors. Turning now to food and market behaviour we may have to accept paying more for chocolate or losing it all together - good news for the waistline perhaps but not for the bank balance. Now to consumer stereotypes, the Brits drink tea and Americans drink coffee right? Well apparently not, tea drinking is on the decline in Britain but growing in America. Apparently it's due to a change in work place habits - maybe we need to extra caffeine kick of coffee? The basket of staples used to calculate UK inflation now includes e-cigarettes, craft beer and Spotify. And a blog from Harvard Business Review looking at the impact on our shopping habits of using reusable bags. Apparently they make use feel virtuous and make us more likely to buy organic but also junk food because we have earned it!
Now a cute article about the growing role of robots in manufacturing industries. Finally two more special reports from the Financial Times - one on the Connected Business and one on Risk Management.
