Notes
To be made redundant
To go into liquidation
It’s
one of those Catch 22s in the sense that you do now have the stigma of being made
redundant is on your CV
The phrase "Catch-22", "a
problematic situation for which the only solution is denied by a circumstance
inherent in the problem or by a rule," has entered the English language
from the novel by Joseph Heller and the film of the same name.
To be on the ropes
Homework
Prepare a business plan for a company 'on the ropes'.
Group 1 (2:30 pm) will work in pairs, Group 10 (5pm) will work individually. Next week you will have some time to prepare an oral presentation but think about your product or service, its USP, your market research and implementation strategy. Pair presentations will last 10 minutes including questions, individual presentations 5 minutes.
