Conference Board offers redesigned web site

The Conference Board recently redesigned its web site, to which we have an educational associate's membership. (It is an international membership organization.) They now offer webcasts, and full-texts of some books, as well as continuing to offer their well known economic information and data and research studies on a broad range of work and public policy topics, including but not limited to ethics, corporate governance, management and director and executive compensation, work-family balance, etc. Organizational charts of selected companies are also available for purchase.

(I have inquired about these charts in the past. They are of Conference Board members. The original understanding was that one had to contribute an organizational chart to have access to others, but this policy probably has changed with electronic access and purchase. It was suggested to me by the Conference Board librarian that the pricing is not geared to a student's budget and that it might be good to suggest that faculty purchase a variety of charts. I have not had a request for an organizational chart for several years.)
