Managing in Business Cycles
Key Ingredients of Competitive Success

Why Attend

All businesses are cyclical, reflecting imbalances between supply and demand. The world is rife with examples: shipping, commodities like metal, ores, agri-business, real estate and stock markets. To have a good, disciplined hand in the timing of key decisions - to go in or out, to take a long or a short position, to judge turning points - is critical to business success.
