Bill Gates is America's second richest man. His company, Microsoft, has amassed him a personal fortune of over $7 billion, but recently he's fallen foul of some of his main competitors who accuse him of unfair business practices and his case is now before the United States Justice Department.
In The Rise and Rise of Bill Gates, the first of ten documentaries about people, organisations, strategies and experiences of businesses, David Lomax reports on the man and his management style.
Future programmes will feature theatrical entrepreneur Bill Kenwright, Nicholas Hyack of Swatch, and the ice-cream war.

Fifth of six stories from within the Foreign Office.
The Pioneers’ Story. The break-up of the Soviet Union has meant that a country that was once represented by one ambassador has split into 15 different states. With a shrinking budget, the Foreign Office is responding to the demand with one-person embassies, housed in whatever accommodation comes to hand. In Minsk, the British embassy is a backroom next to the kitchen in the old East German consulate. How efficient are these shoe-string missions, and what kind of people run them?
