In 2009 Report on Business magazine delivered readers insight and analysis they simply couldn't find anywhere else. In 2010, our magazine's highly respected editorial team will continue to profile Canada's top leaders and policymakers to uncover the issues most relevant to the country's business community. Readers eagerly anticipate every issue--and are highly receptive to adjacent messaging as they absorb content created by Canada's top business journalists.
We recognize that our readers operate in a business landscape that isn't confined to national borders. Launched in the Fall of 2009, our Business Intelligence section delivers three new columns deliver commentary on the top business issues confronting Europe, Asia and the U.S.
We have also bolstered our investing pages to provide investors with insights on how to negotiate their way out of the recent market turmoil and sow the seeds for strong recovery.
In another new section, The Office, our writers provide what we've termed a 30 minute MBA for people who are negotiating their way up the corporate ladder. It's smart, sharp writing that delivers practical, insightful and entertaining content for our readers.
