Business Journals of the United States (Historical Guides to the World's Periodicals & Newspapers S.)

"Business Journals of the United States" surveys more than 100 business serials in separate profiles that, taken as a whole, provide a history of this type of publishing in the United States. The titles included here represent types of publishers of business information: business schools or university presses, professional associations or societies, and commercial publications of both the 19th and 20th centuries. Most of the titles are relatively new, having been in print for less than 50 years. Selected from the more than 7800 available business journals, this volume depicts a variety of publishers as well as the broad range of interests that make up the business community. Each entry is divided into two parts. First, a contributed essay highlights the development of the title and puts it into the context of business/management publishing. Factual data about the publisher's history, sources and, where appropriate, a bibliography of sources used by the contributors in preparing their essays, comprises the second part.
