Flying to the Future

Synopsis: Filmed at Manchester airport, key business functions including security, training, baggage handling, retailing and operational decision making are examined, illustrating how these units operate individually and collectively to improve performance and returns to shareholders. One of the four airports privately owned by Manchester Airport Group, its shareholders are public bodies with the ten local authorities in Greater Manchester having a stake in the airport’s success. This video also investigates how a complex business selects the information it needs and disseminates it to direct operations which change moment by moment.

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
