Editor's comment

Welcome to the Spring edition of Teaching Business and Economics.

One issue which may not directly affect the Journal at the moment but does threaten its survival in the long run and that of the whole Association is attendance at the AGM. If we cannot muster interest in this forum we cannot continue to operate. I would therefore urge you, if at all possible, to attend the event advertised - see the Inside Front Cover.

The Journal opens with a tribute to David Whitehead whose sad, untimely death was learned of as this journal went to press. The Economics section contains an update paper from Richard Dickens focusing on the impact of the minimum wage on those it was designed to help and on the national economy. This edition's 'Economics in the Classroom' analyses some activities for introducing an economics course.

Mark Cook provides a useful Business Update' on investment appraisal and there are two 'Classroom' papers; the first focusing on a new approach to teaching business studies 'reciprocal teaching' and the second providing a citizenship conference report.

The ICT on Line provides its normal high standard of information about resources including a section on the 'virtual learning arcade. Thanks are due to all of the above contributors and to the reviewers who have helped compile the final section of this journal. Please keep the papers coming in.
