ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
On Wednesday Nov. 9, Dwayne Magee, director for Messiah Press, presented his research on the business advantages of internalizing support services before the In-plant Printing and Mailing Association. The presentation, which introduced his white paper “Obtaining Value Through Vertical Integration,” examined the case of a mysterious 19th century shipwreck and compared that mishap with the closing of a 21st century in-plant.
