Emerald Group Publishing launches Emerald Alumni, providing universities with a specially-branded online management resource as a tangible benefit for their alumni, to help graduates to keep abreast of developments in the business world.
[UKPRwire, Sun May 14 2006] Bill Russell, Director, academic market says, “There is increasing recognition that alumni can be ambassadors, advocates and advisers for their place of study. Now many institutes are turning to their former students as an important source of funding to help the university develop. In return, higher education institutes need to offer their alumni tangible benefits. Emerald Alumni supports lifelong learning for graduates by providing online resources which help them to develop, learn and grow throughout their corporate careers or for those taking postgraduate or MBA studies.”
High quality content is supplied through Emerald’s managementfirst.com website. The resource includes international business and management articles, case studies, guru interviews, management briefings and discussion forums. Emerald Alumni also provides access to Emerald Management Reviews, a database of short summaries of every single article published in the world's top 400 management titles. There are 190,000 article reviews available to help users quickly and reliably pin-point the most relevant material for their needs.
Higher education institutes which choose Emerald Alumni ensure that their alumni association members gain automatic access to the fast-changing business world. The web resource includes coverage of strategy, marketing, change management, human resources, knowledge management, healthcare, e-business, quality and public sector management.
The resources are divided into 10 communities for ease of navigation:
