MIF Milestones After the war, new managers were desperately needed to develop Finnish businesses. To answer this need, the JTO School of Management was established in 1946. In 1962, a foundation was created to promote export and offer training needed for successful international trading. It became later known as Fintra. Infor was founded in 1987 to train experts in working efficiently with the media. Infor also published and compiled comprehensive media indexes to help companies in their PR efforts. 16.1.2015 ESITYKSEN NIMI / TEKIJÄ 3
