Marketing the Micro
- Synopsis
- Discusses the process of translating ideas into market products. The theory gives two generalised processes: ‘technology push’ and ‘market pull’. Two case studies demonstrate the theory: Atari Computers, whose ST range uses the latest micro technology, and ICL whose ‘one per desk’ business computer was market researched in depth. Filmed at the 1985 PCW Show at Olympia in London, the headquarters of Atari (UK) in Slough, and ICL’s Business Centre for micros at Bracknell.

- NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
