We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.
In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.

Peter Day has been to China - primarily to collect material for a series of six half-hour documentaries for the 主播大秀 World Service series, Global Business (see link below).
In this special programme for R4 Peter Day encounters some of the business people who are reshaping the new China - providing a glimpse of a vast country undergoing huge changes.
Late last year, after 15 years of negotiation, China was admitted to the World Trade Organisation, joining itself to the global trading network. "This is much more than a piece of diplomacy," says Peter Day, "it鈥檚 a deliberate attempt by the Chinese authorities to force a huge centrally controlled economy to modernise or perish under the eventual onslaught of world competition."
The WTO move will also accelerate the development of the new industrial China in a way which will eventually change the shape of the global business landscape forever.
"China is poised," says Day "to become not only a world manufacturing powerhouse, but the world manufacturing powerhouse."
