The Australian Financial Review, with its crisp, perceptive and relevant
editorial, sharpens the business and financial community's view every
Monday to Friday. 

Specialist surveys now appear in over 90 issues of The Australian
Financial Review every year.  They offer an authoritative source of
information on a wide ranging number of markets, industries and
companies. 

Advertising in the relevant surveys gives companies the opportunity to
appear amongst relevant editorial and reach their target audience more
effectively.

Boards buy the byte 
       A FEDERAL Court judgment has apparently cleared the way for boards

       of new office technology; how the office environment is 
       changing; and some of the likely future developments.

Networked printers can make right connections 
       THE personal computer has changed the office environment in more 
       ways than one - it has swept up a host of office devices in 
       the tide of demand for a single integrated network.

More paper price rises on the way 
       OVER the past 14 months the price of pulp has risen from $348 a 
       tonne to over $1,000.

Manufacturer warning 
       AUSTRALIA'S manufacturing sector has no more than five years to 
       re-engineer its technology and business processes if it is to 
       survive the impact of global competition, an industry consultant says.

Designing virtual worlds of reality 
       FIVE years from now architects and engineers will have access to 
       computer-aided design systems, as opposed to the current 
       generation of drafting systems, says Dr Joel Orr, a US-based 
       expert in the field.
