http://www.open2.net/moneyandmanagement/management_organisation/

Organizations and management strategies might help make the world go round, but how do they work? This thoughtful website created by the BBC and the Open University provide some helpful answers to that very question. The site contains a blog, a section dedicated to the use of technology in providing management solutions, and a podcast. "The Virtual Revolution" is a section that provides interviews, commentary, and research on how the virtual world will continue to reshape social interactions and business transactions in the future. In "The Bottom Line" BBC commentator Evan Davis sits down with various business leaders each week to talk about topics, like the old adage "the customer is always right" and business cost-cutting measures. Overall, the site is well designed and it's one that is aimed towards both a general audience and those who might be studying these matters in academia.
