Using Laurel and Hardy in Business Lessons!

Graham Prior

29th August 2014

I was watching 'towed in a hole' last night which is a classic short by Laurel and Hardy. The opening 3 minutes are pure business gold.Ollie's first lines are:'For the first time in our lives we are a success. A nice little fish business and making money'Stan then goes onto explain how the business can make even more money........The opening few minutes would make a great little starter on adding value or methods of increasing profit.The rest of the short film (22 minutes) also has some nuggets of business gold that could be used including quality. Another idea could be to show the entire short film and ask students to look out for the business studies issues and concepts.Wonderful.......
