This Week we kick things off with a personal anecdote about a recent treacherous road trip, setting the stage for a deeper discussion on the state of infrastructure. Claire and her co-host reflect on how deteriorating road conditions have become a growing concern, impacting even short trips.
The conversation then shifts to a shocking news story: British Airways has stopped flying to Beijing, one of the world's largest economies. The reason? Sanctions on Russia mean European airlines can no longer fly over Russian airspace, resulting in longer, more expensive flights. Claire explores the business implications of this, revealing how these sanctions are inadvertently benefiting Chinese airlines, which continue to fly over Russia. This has led British Airways to partner with China Airways to service the route, effectively shifting British business profits to China.
In this week's deep dive Claire introduces the concept of Michael Porter's "barrier to entry," a framework that can help small businesses become more profitable and saleable. She explains how businesses can create competitive advantages, such as capital outlay, cost savings, regulatory protection, and market access.
The episode wraps up with a recommendation for the "Acquired" podcast, which delves into the stories of major companies like Nintendo, Sony, and Starbucks. Clare and her co-host share their favourite episodes and discuss the valuable business insights they've gained from listening.
