The Enterprise Doctor Business Show

This is an edited version of The Business Show on Marlow FM on 25th Nov 2021.

My guests were Dr Simon Jones and Erika Moralez-Perez. Connect at https://www.linkedin.com/in/simondrjones/ and https://www.linkedin.com/in/erikamoralezperez/ respectively.

I first played “Letter from Erika” by Chris Coco for Erika, not the first time, but it’s good, so worth another play. Hear it at https://youtu.be/183_K1v-L_U .

I chat with Erika about Virtual Inhouse Solicitor, of which she is CEO, about her company rebrand and why they’re rebranding, as well as what they do, and for whom.

Dr Simon Jones, Dean of the School of Business and Law at Buckinghamshire New University then chats about what that job actually entails, the degrees they offer, and the work they do with businesses such as with Knowledge Transfer Partnerships. The webinar mentioned can be viewed at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/your-route-to-innovation-knowledge-transfer-partnerships-tickets-208468764687 .

“Warm this Winter” by Gabriella Cilmi was Erika’s choice of music for us – our first Christmassy song this year - watch the great video at https://youtu.be/F-wynYFFEVI .

Simon’s choice of business conversation was sparked by https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59363094 - a perfect storm leading to supply chain issues, but are the principles of supply and demand the issue, or is it logistics? And where does the generic High Street fit with this?

His music choice was “Trouble Me” by 10,000 Maniacs, because the lyrics are pertinent right now, and because it brings back happy memories of his own student days. Listen and read the lyrics at https://youtu.be/96tw96xzUnM.

Erika highlighted two stories about Meta – see https://edition.cnn.com/2021/11/15/tech/meta-facebook-ohio-lawsuit/index.html and https://www.reuters.com/technology/changing-facebooks-name-will-not-deter-lawmaker-or-regulatory-scrutiny-experts-2021-10-20/ . Is the name change a ruse to escape scrutiny, and potentially prosecution?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-59346858 was my story – unlimited paid holiday? Really??

The final track was chosen by me for Simon. What else could it be but the great Alice Cooper with “School’s Out” – enjoy it at https://youtu.be/mBqiC5ox8Bw.
