Cross-posted. Please excuse duplication; I tried to send this message
before.
It is 2002 budget time and we have to calculate costs for our acquisitions
accounts. The powers-that-be have provided an overall 4% inflation factor
which in past years, has been far too low. In rior years, we have called
leading publishers to inquire about their inflation projections. But
before I begin that exercise, has anyone already done it this year?
Experience tells me that an average 8% is standard, but gut feeling won't
cut it with my office administrator. Thanks, and I will summarize for the
list.
