Emerald announce new book titles in Enterprise and Innovation

Full range of titles now available via the Emerald Bookstore

Emerald has recently acquired a large proportion of Elsevier's Social Science book series and textbook publishing programme. Over 200 book series and almost 300 books have been added to the Emerald portfolio, and we are looking forward to contributing to the ongoing successful development of all titles.

The enterprise books portfolio currently consists of 39 titles, details of which can now be found at Emerald's recently-launched Bookstore.

There are a number of ways in which authors can get involved with the enterprise publishing programme in the future – from proposing a new volume within an existing book series to proposing a brand new book series, and we look forward to talking to you about these opportunities. Please contact Rachel Brown, the Commissioning Editor for the enterprise portfolio, at rbrown@emeraldinsight.com

This acquisition is one of the most significant in Emerald's history, and strengthens our presence in many subject fields, readily complementing a number of titles in our existing portfolio. We also welcome the fact that the acquisition takes us into new and exciting areas of research and practice, including Sociology and Politics & Policy, to name a few, and we are looking forward to contributing to the ongoing successful development of all titles.

The new Emerald Bookstore gives customers an opportunity to purchase Emerald books at the click of a button, making our entire print collection available for purchase online and providing key information on all titles. The user-friendly search facility provides rapid results and allows cross-referencing to authors and works in the same subject area.In addition to featured items, highlighting some of our key titles, forthcoming titles are given key prominence ensuring our customers are always made aware of our latest developments within the book publishing world.

Offering special discounts on titles and through conference promotion, the Emerald Bookstore is an ideal place to continue to grow your Emerald collection.
