In a world of ChatGPT and social media feeds with constant updates about the world of business it can be a challenge to make a student-focused A-level business magazine. This is the 30th year of BUSINESS REVIEW, and a lot has changed over the years. When the first issue was launched it featured the up-andcoming Japanese company Nintendo on the front cover. Some of the top companies that were around in the early nineties — such as GM, IBM, Ford and Chrysler — are still around, but are a fraction of the size in comparison to the new industry leaders such as Google, Amazon and Walmart. Over the years, the companies that were in the Fortune 100 have changed significantly.
Amazon was just getting started (as an online bookshop). Google was 4 years away from starting. Mark Zuckerberg was a child in primary school, and the internet had only just been made public. The impact that the internet has had on all businesses has been profound. When BUSINESS REVIEW launched, the banking system still relied on cash and cheques, and even though the first ATM was unveiled in 1967, widespread use of ATMs was only just growing.
