The promise of outlandish profits from business-to-consumer e-tailing is fading to a dot on the Internet horizon and the real promise of e-commerce is now thought to lie elsewhere.

Mind Your Own Business (Sunday, 10.50 p.m., RTE1) is a new four-part series examining partnership in the workplace. The programme was commissioned by SIPTU, the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, the Irish Business and Employers' Confederation and RTE and the theme is that enterprise partnership within business can bring success.
