Subscriber's Report - 2009
The sixth year of the journal publishing was even more than successful. Number of subscribers increased sufficiently in comparison to the previous year. We documented a 12 per cent increase in the number of subscribers despite the crisis impact on the university subscribers. The most remarkable increase was documented at the market for institutional subscribers. At the end of the sixth year of the journal publishing there were more than 600 institutional subscribers worldwide.
Institutional subscribers represent mainly academic institutions. Constant increase in the number of subscribers is explained by an aggressive strategy of the Publisher at the market for subscription agents. Thus, the Publisher was successful in signing agreements with a number of subscription agents in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Australia.
The share of institutional subscribers from EU is the largest. The above mentioned result is explained by the stable interest of researchers from EU to the issues of corporate governance and stable financial development of the EU universities. We should underline that there is a stable growing interest to the journal in Italy, Spain, Germany, China, Australia and others.
Individual subscribers as institutional ones represent many countries of the world. Subscribers from EU are the most active in subscribing to the journal as individuals. The share of EU individual subscribers is about 29 percent. Individual subscribers from such countries as Japan, Italy, Spain, Australia, and United Kingdom were active in subscribing to the journal too.
We are proud to declare that over six years of the journal publishing the journal has reliable individual subscribers from over the world. Moreover, we are happy to say that individual subscribers are not only readers of the journal. They are contributors of the papers to the journal. This trend develops fast.
