Oxford University is the oldest university in the English-speaking world and has a history of over nine centuries of continuous existence. The Department of Politics and International Relations is currently home to three major research programmes and all the Department’s research units aim to have an impact on policy and decision-making at all levels of national and international government.

For any researcher, the need for an efficient and easy to use method of managing and storing information is essential and Doctor. Andreas Busch, Fellow at the Department, has been using mind mapping in his research for around 13 years. Ten years ago, Doctor. Busch, went in search of a mind mapping software and, in his first commercial transaction over the internet, bought Mindjet’s MindManager v2.0 for Windows 3.1. He now uses the latest version MindManager extensively and has introduced its benefits to his students.

He comments: “MindManager has allowed me to stay in control of a huge amount of information that includes everything from political party analysis to complex historical developments”.

Douglas Stewart EDU Ltd. (DSEDU) has more than 55 years experience worldwide of selling, marketing and distributing computer products to the education and charity marketplace.

Lori Mercier, the MD who is heading Douglas Stewart’s European expansion, has found that using mind mapping software MindManager to organise her business plan allows her to split information into territories, product types, customers etc. Being a very visual person, she uses the business mapping function to display an overview of actions and to attach documents to a central map from where Excel, PowerPoint or Word documents can be easily retrieved.

“The software allows me to see the big picture as well as digging deep into details without losing track. It is a great solution for doing a SWOT analysis. It is also perfect for working with groups of people in a brainstorm situation, which we have to do when we look at future business activities.” Lori says.
