Palgrave Macmillan acquires Henry Stewart Publications list
 
Palgrave Macmillan, the academic and professional publishing division of
Macmillan Publishers Ltd, announced today that it has acquired 21 journals
from Henry Stewart Publications Ltd. The list encompasses all the
company's journals in management, marketing, finance, property and allied
areas.
 
Dominic Knight, Managing Director of Palgrave Macmillan, said:
 
"This represents a significant step forward in the development of our
journals publishing programme, which has developed rapidly since the
formation of Palgrave Macmillan five years ago. This brings our list to
over 50 journals, and contributes titles of excellent quality to our
successful programme of Business publications. It puts us in close contact
with partners with whom we are keen to build in the future."
 
Titles include eminent publications such as Journal of Brand Management,
Journal of Asset Management and Journal of Banking Regulation.  There is
considerable synergy between these journals and Palgrave Macmillan's
existing programme, which includes Journal of the Operational Research
Society, Journal of International Business Studies and European Management
Review.
 
The journals will also sit alongside Palgrave Macmillan's extensive
business book publishing programme, which includes influential and
innovative academic works, textbooks and professional books by leading
international authors. The list will be managed from the Palgrave
Macmillan head office in Basingstoke, UK, following a brief transitional
services period during which Henry Stewart Publications will continue to
service the publications.
 
The journals will benefit from Palgrave Macmillan's international sales
and marketing operations and from the Macmillan Group's industry leading
journal publishing infrastructure.  It is this global reach which has
attracted a number of organisations to seek Palgrave Macmillan as partners
in new publishing initiatives in recent years.
 
Daryn Moody, Managing Director of Henry Stewart Publications, said:
 
'In recent years we at Henry Stewart Publications have developed a highly
successful series of journals in business and related fields. Having
decided that now is the correct time to divest, we are delighted to see
these titles transfer to Palgrave Macmillan, which we are confident will
be an ideal home in which these titles can continue to develop, grow and
prosper.'
