Zippo’s Circus
- Synopsis
- A course looking at the changing role of the manager and different management styles. Examines the negotiation and mediation skills of David Hibling, the manager of Zippo’s Circus. He has to walk a tightrope between his larger than life circus boss, Martin ‘Zippo’ Burton, and his staff, the circus troupe, many of who speak few words of English. The programme follows David, Martin and the troupe as they set up the big top in Brighton and deal with an emergency. When the water supply is cut and the big top starts to flood, David’s negotiation skills are put to the test.

- 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
