Offering a personal and supportive approach, our experienced and knowledgeable books team are committed to publishing cutting-edge research of the highest quality for a global audience. Emerald About Emerald Emerald has been publishing research in business and management and the social sciences for half a century, with over 2,600 books and 300 journals spanning all of our disciplines. Set up by business school faculty in 1967, Emerald was born of the communities it was set up to serve, with a commitment to help communities make decisions that count, based on research that matters. Emerald’s aim has always been to publish rigorous academic research and more applied content that helps students, researchers, educators and practitioners at all stages of their career. The Emerald Group uniquely marries strong roots in publishing with innovative author services and expertise in education, learning and development designed to nurture fresh thinking and deliver impact. As part of this, Emerald recently acquired two companies - Research Media in 2013 and GoodPractice in 2015. Research Media transforms academic research to engage a wider audience beyond the academy, demonstrating the impact that research has in real and practical ways. GoodPractice distils management research into bite-sized, digestible and well-structured content which can be applied in practice by managers who are learning and developing in the workplace. Together as the Emerald Group, these three companies are part of a familyowned, independent and global knowledge business which cherishes a principled and personal approach to our customers.
