THE CUSHMAN REPORT

The latest edition of Cushman Report is posted:

This issue raises fundamental questions about the Investor Relations function and a paradigm shift that affects careers in IR as well as CorpCom. It is about the new definition of “Valuation”. How does the BP disaster impact how we think about our roles and reinforce the need to rethink IR and crisis communications? Also, what are current compensation trends? What does the “New Normal” both for companies and individuals look like in this current economic climate?

Part 2 will be released the end of July and looks at how career decisions must align on 4 key measures; it is titled, “The 4 Rights.”-Judy
