Context: Unit 1 Title: Careers

Reports of the death of the traditional career have been greatly exaggerated. Despite the growth of outsourcing (buying in services that were previously performed by a company’s employees from outside the organisation) and teleworking by freelancers working from home communicating via the Internet, most professional people still go to what is recognisably a job in a building that is recognisably an office.

Context: Unit 2 Title: Selling online The world of e-commerce moves fast. The dotcom frenzy of the late 1990s, with companies raising vast amounts of money from investors, for example just to sell dog food over the Internet, came and went, and some organisations removed the dotcom suffix from their names, so much did it become a synonym for failure. E-commerce courses in business schools are no longer oversubsribed and no longer preaching that ‘everything has changed’. Companies look more at how e-commerce can be used in conjunction with other methods of selling: in retailing this means clicks and mortar, combining traditional retail outlets with online operations, ratther than investing in a whole new expensive infrastructure.
