THE first issue of the Mona School of Business (MSB) cutting edge magazine Business Review, which targets policy makers, current and aspiring corporate executives, opinion shapers in the business community, entrepreneurs, business school students and researchers, hit the market recently.
In presenting a copy of the inaugural issue -- Recovery of the Jamaican economy after recession -- to the Media Association of Jamaica (MAJ) Tuesday at the Observer's office in Kingston, publisher Professor Evan Duggan said the magazine will be published three times per year and will cover and draw from the knowledge and experience of local and international business leaders and policy makers, target residents at MSB and the wider University community, business analysts, journalists, as well as distinguished alumni and enthusiastic students.
"This is a business magazine which maintains an ongoing focus on five areas," Professor Duggan said. "These areas are policy, entrepreneurship, strategy and solutions, technology, and finance and economy."
Editor of the magazine Claude Robinson said the first edition examines the present business environment and is intended to be a part of business discussions everywhere.
"This is the magazine that will set the standard for business publication in the Caribbean by providing readers with cutting-edge research, insight and analysis to guide policy and action in business and the broader economy," Robinson said.
Meanwhile, former governor general Sir Kenneth Hall, who is an advisor to the editorial committee and who also writes for the magazine, said it is his desire to work with the media to strengthen the linkage with the business community.
The other writers include former prime minister Edward Seaga, Dennis Morrison, Alicia Roache, Cedric Wilson, Colin F Bullock, Dr William Lawrence, and Ralph Thomas.
Jamaica Observer chief executive officer, Edward Khoury, also received a copy of the magazine.
