Vision

Synopsis: A course looking at the changing role of the manager and different management styles. This programme looks at the highly unconventional management style of artist and would-be rock star Julian Sharples, who brings an unorthodox approach to his covert camera manufacturing company GBC including introducing poetry and songs into the sales room. Although his employees respect him they see him as flamboyant, eccentric and frustrating. He seems like an unlikely managing director, but is in fact successful. From his canal boat home, Julian explains the attitude towards staff and work which helps his company to thrive.

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
