Your task is to identify and select an issue from current affairs (i.e. a news story) that is likely to have a significant impact on the way in which organisations are managed. You should find a news item on the BBC News Website (news.bbc.co.uk) from the last six months. Examples could be business ethics, globalisation, social or industrial conflict, outsourcing, regulation and/or deregulation of business or indeed any substantive issue that impacts on managerial decision making.
