New Lynda Videos, Special Reports and Weekly Round-Up

Hello, I hope you are all enjoying the sun and not too worried about coursework deadlines. Remember if you are having trouble research you can come and see your librarians, either by appointment or at our help-desk on the first floor of the library between 9-5. (And if you need help with your writing LDU have a drop in 12-2 in the library where they will look at your essays). If you still have more skills you want to work on, check out the new business videos on Lynda.com and their huge range of training videos on a large number of topics.

I have another series of Special Reports from the Financial Times for you to have a look at. Firstly, a special report looking at Energy - focusing on climate change and renewable energy. Secondly an interesting Special Report on Cyber Security, looking at how we can or if we can make the web safer. Finally a Special Report on the Queen's Awards for Enterprise which is really inspiring. Hopefully some Middlesex student reading this blog will win one someday soon. Have a good read and get inspired and while you are thinking about your degree and your future, check out this argument for teaching politics to MBA students and looking and how much politics can impact your business career. Now you are feeling all political, check out this blog from the Harvard Business Review looking at why we are harder on Female CEOs like Marissa Mayer and what impact that has on getting more women business leaders.

Finally some fascinating news stories; the rogue trader operating out of Hounslow who caused a mini crash, a piece looking at the World Bank Stress Test and Uber is adding helicopters and boats to its taxi service in China. Finally a video looking at Tesco's losses and what has caused them.
