Will to Win, The

Synopsis

Looks at the ‘economic miracle’ brought about in Brittany chiefly as a result of the co-operative organisation of Brittany farmers. Considers the effects of the social history of Brittany, the effects of geographical location of the area, the establishment of grading and reliability of product quality, the provision of a system of organisation to co-ordinate production and marketing and transportation, and the provision of a degree of positive feedback which helps the system to grow.

Notes

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
