Editor's comment
Cullimore, DuncanWelcome to this 'conference special' edition of Teaching Business and Economics. This journal contains the regular items of Business Monitor, IT on Line and Reviews but it also has papers arising from the annual conference in March.
The first paper is based on the presentation from John Vickers who analysed issues relating to economic policy to promote competition and support consumers.
We are fortunate in being able to publish the extract from Kevan Scholes' new textbook which focuses on the area covered by his presentation at the conference (Information Technology and Strategy). Continuing the theme of the impact of IT on business is a paper focusing on the impact of IT on retailing.
Two of the papers from the conference focus on transport issues and there are supplementary pieces attached which give questions for classroom use and suggestions for activities.
There are also a few words from our new Chair and about our new President. I hope that you enjoy his edition and I would welcome any items/papers for future journals, preferably by e-mail.
