The Apprentice

THE APPRENTICE - perhaps the best show i have seen in BBC during my 2 yrs in London.
Perfect for a case study!!! Starting from day one, its a big fight. Everyone wants to a great leader and gives his/her best to get that £100000 job.

Fourteen hopefuls, two eagle-eyed advisors and one self-made millionaire. Yes it’s the show that pits Britain’s hungriest business brains against each other to see which one is worthy of a six-figure salary and the chance to become Sir Alan Sugar’s apprentice.

Over twelve weeks the candidates will take part in the toughest recruitment-drive on television. Sharing a luxury townhouse on London’s "millionaire’s row", they will be split into two teams and given a weekly task with which to expose their entrepreneurial nous.

For those on the winning team a taste of the executive lifestyle awaits in the form of a luxury treat. Those on the losing team will discover that, unlike his name, Sir Alan Sugar is not so sweet.

The losing team’s elected Project Manager must choose two members of the team whom he or she thinks performed worst.

The three of them have to defend their respective corners whilst Sir Alan, assisted by his trusted advisors Margaret Mountford and Nick Hewer, decides which of them will hear those dreaded words: "You’re fired".

Over the nail-biting journey the candidates will endure and enjoy (at times), a fight for survival. Only one of them can win so be prepared for plenty of sour-grapes along the way...
