Management in Chinese cultures [videorecording] / producer, Roger Penfound ; BBC [for] the Open University Publication [Princeton, NJ] : Films for the Humanities & Sciences, c2001. Videocassette release of an episode of the 1998 telecourse Academic consultant/presenter, Jane Henry ; camera, Hamdani Milas ; editor, Clive Wilkinson Summary In Chinese culture, western stresses on individualism, delegation and empowerment are replaced by an emphasis on community and the family, a lean hands-on management style and a Confucian deference to authority. Through interviews with innovators, entrepreneurs and managers in both China and Hong Kong, this programme asks a number of questions about the effects these cultural differences have on the way business is done in this region Notes Chiefly in English with Chinese subtitles; some Chinese (Cantonese) with English voice-overs.

The Three Gorges Dam, factory floors a kilometre long and the breathtaking scale of Shanghai's urban renewal are subjects for his lens. Shot in Super-16mm film, the documentary extends the narratives of Burtynsky's photographs, meditating on the human impact on the planet without trying to reach simplistic judgements or reductive resolutions.

- China's mega dam [videorecording] / produced by West Beach Entertainment and Transatlantic Films, Ltd. for the Discovery Channel ; produced and directed by Justin Albert Publication [Silver Spring, Md.] : Discovery Channel, 2006
Summary The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in China is the largest public works project in the history of mankind. Its size, scale and potential are unprecedented in engineering history. Join Discovery Channel cameras - granted exclusive access to the site - as they document the dramatic effect this massive construction project will have on the surrounding countryside.
- Design e² [videorecording] : the economies of being environmentally conscious / director, Tad Fettig ; series producer, Elizabeth Westrate ; narration writers, Mark Decena, John Kenney ; produced by kontentreal, LLC Publication [Alexandria, Va.] : Distributed by PBS Home Video, c2006. Examines the economies of being environmentally conscious in green building design. The first program, The green apple, uses New York City, particularly One Bryant Park and the Solaire, to demonstrates how the ubiquitous skyscraper can be a model of environmental responsibility. The second episode, Green for all, features architect and activist Sergio Palleroni as he works to provide design solutions to regions suffering from social and humanitarian crises. Shows projects in East Austin, Tex. and with the Yaqui Indians in Mexico where architecture students are helping residents build low-cost, environmentally-friendly homes using local materials. The third program, The green machine, follows Mayor Richard M. Daley as he strives to make Chicago "the greenest city in America" with numerous LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)-certified buildings, a solar-powered public transportation system, and many green roofs, including one on Chicago's City Hall. The fourth episode, Gray to green, takes the notion of the three R's (reduce, reuse, recycle) to grand proportions by turning Boston's "Big Dig" steel and concrete waste into spectacular residential design. The fifth program, China : from red to green? depicts a rapidly urbanizing country at its tipping point and finds a sustainable solution in Steven Holl's Beijing project, which will have the largest geothermal heating/cooling and greywater recycling system in the world upon completion. The sixth program, Deeper shades of green, presents three visionaries who are changing the face of architecture and environmentalism and features some of their projects. Focuses on Ken Yeang and his "bio-climatic" National Library of Singapore, Werner Sobek and R128, his energy-efficient, steel and glass box house, and William McDonough and his model sustainable village of Huangbaiyu, China.
- Is Wal-Mart good for America? [videorecording] / senior producer, Hedrick Smith ; written by Hedrick Smith & Rick Young ; produced and directed by Rick Young ; WGBH Publication [Alexandria, Va.] : PBS Video, 2004. Originally broadcast on Nov. 16, 2004 as a segment of: Frontline Summary Examines Wal-Mart's importation of Chinese goods into the United States. Discusses that while some economists credit Wal-Mart's focus on low costs with helping contain U.S. inflation, others charge that the company is the main force driving the massive overseas shift to China in the production of American consumer goods, resulting in hundreds of thousands of lost jobs and a lower standard of living in the U.S .
