Online Seminar: What Do CFOs Think about the Economy Right Now?

Join Fuqua Professor John Graham; Jeffrey Kip '99, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, Panera Bread; and John Kogan '95, CEO, Proformative, on Wednesday, September 21, to learn what CFOs are thinking based on the most recent Duke/CFO magazine Global Business Outlook survey and how CFO insights may affect your company. learn more and register »
