We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.
In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.

In this week's programme...
What's In A Name?
Thirty years ago the person at the top of a company was called the Managing Director. Nowadays the boss is a Chief Executive Officer and Managing Directors are a long way down the organisation.
It's all a result of a curious phenomenon called job title inflation.
Job titles used to be boring descriptions of your function in an organisation, but in increasingly informal or flat organisations they're one of the few ways of showing you're different to everyone else.
So more and more of us are trying to get a better job title.
This week's In Business talks about the enormous number of people with the word manager in their title. Are they managing anything more than their careers?
