STRATEGIC JOURNALS FINANCE
27th February, Woburn House Conference Centre, London
Courses are highly participative and very specific to our segment of the
industry. Groups are kept small (generally between 12-18) to enable full
interaction
OVERVIEW
This course will be of importance to middle and senior publishing managers,
who meet a multiplicity of financial problems in managing a journals
portfolio. The aim of the course is to introduce finance and accounting
problems that managers face at senior level, and ensure they have the tools
to deal with these effectively.
