Academic and professional literature publisher Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., UK, has announced the acquisition of a programme of Management and Social Sciences book serials, series and monographs from Elsevier, comprising about 2,000 titles. With this acquisition, Emerald seeks to ensure the continuing success of all titles, and to extend the sales and readership of the programme.
This acquisition consolidates Emerald's position as the leading publisher of management research. The company's 40 years of publishing experience will provide editorial and market expertise and a new perspective on the acquired portfolio, most of which already has an excellent fit with existing titles. The company will also be investing in the development of titles in these new disciplines.
Emerald is proactively working with Elsevier during the hand-over period to ensure the avoidance of any disruption. It has already set up a team to manage the integration and ongoing business, and has recruited experienced editorial staff to sustain and enhance the quality of the publishing programme.
