New research by MORI for Cheltenham Ladies' College shows that women are not getting on as they should be in the IT industries. Of the IT companies included in the research on average a quarter (24%) of IT positions are held by women. This decreases to about one in eight (13%) of senior management positions.
MORI's monthly poll for The Times published last week received a lot of attention and secondary reporting, mostly concentrating on the four-point drop in the Conservative voting intention share, to its lowest level since April. But the finding that may be by far the most politically significant was much less widely reported. Over the last four months there has been what may amount to a sea-change in the attitudes of Labour supporters to voting. One reading of the figures would suggest it may presage the difference between significant Tory gains that may secure William Hague's position to fight a second election, and another Labour landslide.
A new market research study indicates that most magazine retailers want freedom to choose the wholesalers they do business with, rather than have them appointed by publishers.

New research released today by on-line electrical retailer value-direct.co.uk urges consumers to approach comparative pricing sites with caution as they may not necessarily be receiving the value for money they think they are.
With many households looking to hit the shops over this bank holiday weekend for items such as televisions and fridge freezers, new research from on-line electrical retailer value-direct.co.uk shows that 'no hidden costs' is as important as 'lowest price' in consumers' interpretation of value for money when buying electrical goods.
Consumers have had enough of confusing pricing policies and misleading value claims, says on-line electrical retailer value-direct.co.uk. In a new report issued today - 'Clarity begins@home, a call for clarity of pricing on the high street and on the web', value-direct.co.uk is calling for clarity of pricing both on the high street and on the net and value-direct.co.uk is urging the government to take a closer look at how prices are displayed both on and off-line.
