New serials, series and books

Emerald is very privileged to announce the acquisition of a programme of Management and Social Sciences book serials, series and monographs from Elsevier, comprising almost 2,000 titles.

This acquisition consolidates Emerald’s position as the leading publisher of management research and will also bring us into different and exciting areas of information and study.

Emerald’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. We will be investing in the development of titles in these new disciplines. It is our priority that all stakeholders – customers, editors, authors and suppliers – are considered and kept fully appraised of any and all developments. As the integration progresses, it is Emerald’s absolute objective to ensure the continuing success of all titles, and to extend the sales and readership of the programme.

Illustrating this commitment, Emerald has already set up a dedicated team to manage the integration and ongoing business, and has recruited experienced editorial staff to sustain and enhance the quality of the publishing programme. This is a significant investment for Emerald and the commitment is long term.
