Continuing Education.
The volume and selection of journals and consulting products establish this site as a supportive resource for managers, however, it is the Online Discussion Groups at this site that fit the criteria for continuing education, and are therefore included as part of this guide. Participation in these groups are limited to journal subscribers. Unable to view during this project.
