World of Business focuses on Myanmar
26th September 2014
An autumnal hat tip to Will Taylor from Brookfield Community School in Chesterfield who recommended a recent BBC Radio 4 broadcast from Peter Day dated 18th September. Will writes:"This programme offers thirty minutes of fascinating insights into this new democracy and fast emerging economy and brilliant for looking at FDI and market attractiveness, development issues. Myanmar (formerly Burma) is the second to last market to open up to the world (only N. Korea remains shut off)." "With a population of fifty million, mostly poor, and rich in natural resources, how can Myanmar develop quickly to meet a wide range of economic, social, technological, political, cultural and business challenges. My Y13 Edexcel Business and Economics students seemed to enjoy it and took pages of notes. Well worth the lesson time or a homework!"Here is the link to the programme: http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/radio/worldbiz...World of Business (BBC): http://www.bbc.co.uk/podcasts/series/worldbiz
