US companies will have to prove that their materials are not from conflict zones. We assess India's slowing economy after the country's latest economic figures are released. Also, Japanese musician Yoshiki is moving from heavy metal to classical music - we ask him how that will effect the revenue his personal brand generates. We'll 'go gentle into that good night' as we look at the legacy of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas and find out whether the bard is bringing in the buck for Wales. Finally, we look at the business of booze, and ask why one expert says 'beer is the foundation of civilisation'. All this is discussed with our guest in Australia, Professor Danny Samson, a leading management expert from the University of Melbourne.
