Management is one of the most
widely-discussed and critical issues in
business. In this engaging program for
senior secondary students we investigate
what a manager actually does and how
they achieve success. Experts explain the
different tasks of management, such as
planning, leading, organising and
controlling, and the challenges they face in
the various departments of large-scale
organisations. We investigate the most
effective strategies when faced with
resource allocation or staffing issues or
measuring performance. The diverse
nature of management is examined in the
wider context of globalisation and
technological innovation, offering viewers
a valuable insight into the day-to-day lives
of managers.

WORKPLACE
In workplaces, as in any other part of
society, people are diverse. They come
from different cultures; they have different
belief systems, values and religions. There
is diversity in interpersonal styles, mental
ability, sexual orientation, physical
characteristics and capabilities, and
thinking and learning styles. This
presenter-led production examines
diversity in the workplace using various
dramatized scenarios. The five chapters
focus on the scope of diversity, responding
sensitively, knowing the guidelines,
communicating appropriately and building
on diversity. This is an excellent resource
for anyone examining the nature of
diversity within the workplace and ways for
all personnel within an organization to
effectively work with it.

ETHICS
Answer the question "Why be ethical?"
and teach all employees, including
managers and supervisors, an ethical
decision-making process that protects
your organization and makes it a better
place to work.
Ethics matter. It's not just the big scandals
you see in the news, but the small
everyday decisions that add up, too. In
fact, that's where you need to draw the
line—with the little things—before serious
damage is done.
This employee ethics training video
follows four realistic scenarios that
demonstrate the importance of basic
values such as respect for others, fairness,
and honesty. And it teaches a three-part
decision-making process that helps
employees find their way to a solution
even in complex situations where the right
answer doesn't come easily.
Employees will learn to recognize
behaviors that may do harm, determine
whether they are personally responsible to
take action, and compare possible
outcomes to select the solution that best
repairs the ethical breakdown while
protecting the integrity of the organization.
Employees all share the responsibility to
act ethically and to speak up if they see
coworkers behaving badly. Use this
training DVD to raise awareness, provide
a framework for ethical decision making,
and help create a company that
employees can be proud of.

HUMAN RIGHTS
900 900 DAYS
DAYS
Directed by Jessica Gorter
Is it better to acknowledge an unpalatable
truth or to embrace the comfort of myth?
Jessica Gorter's 900 DAYS contrasts the
devastating and unforgettable stories
recounted by survivors of the Siege of
Leningrad, the infamous German
blockade, which caused the deaths of
more than 1 million people during World
War II, with the triumphant memorials
fabricated by the Russian state.
The blockade, one of the most incredible,
defining events of World War II, remains
largely unremembered outside of Russia.
In September 1941, the 3 million
inhabitants of the city now known as St.
Petersburg were trapped without food or
drinking water. For 900 days of subzero
temperatures, people had to eat glue,
leather soles, cats, and perhaps even their
fellow human beings. When the city finally
opened up again, nearly a million had
died.
Immediately after the war, investigations of
the blockade were forbidden. The Soviet
propaganda machine transformed the
survivors into a symbol of national heroism,
silencing any questions about Stalin's war
policy and its toll on the lives of ordinary
Russians.
In 900 DAYS, Gorter employs newly
declassified material from the Secret
Service archives that reveals, in coldly
impersonal statistics, the extent of
cannibalism in the blockaded city and the
population's fury with their own authorities.
Footage of present-day Russian
memorials to the survivors of the siege
illustrate the persistence of the official,
heroic account of the event even in light of
this new information.
Elsewhere in the film, survivors speak
openly, many for the first time in their lives,
about their experiences and the post-war
censorship. Their painful memories
overshadow the public myth in which
some of them had previously participated.
All their lives they have been told they
were heroes who guided the country
toward victory, but they are increasingly
aware that true recognition of their
traumatic experience and the ruinous
policies that allowed it to continue is still,
even after half a century, far away.
