Knowledge for Generations: Wiley and the Global Publishing Industry, 1807 - 2007 Hardcover - 2007 - 1st Edition

by Robert E. Wright; Timothy C. Jacobson; George David Smith


From the publisher

Die lebendige Geschichte eines der ltesten Verlagshuser Amerikas - erschienen aus Anlass des 200-jhrigen Firmenjubilums

Das Unternehmen John Wiley & Sons wurde vor zweihundert Jahren, zur Zeit der Prsidentschaft Thomas Jeffersons, gegrndet und spielt seitdem eine bedeutende Rolle im Verlagswesen. Aus Anlass des Geschftsjubilums im Jahr 2007 erweckte ein Team herausragender Autoren die bewegte Geschichte des Verlagshauses zu neuem Leben und zeigt, wie das Unternehmen von Trends in der Verlagsindustrie, aber auch von weiter reichenden wirtschaftlichen, gesellschaftlichen und kulturellen Krften geformt wurde. Knowledge for Generations beleuchtet die unternehmerischen Strken und Schwchen im Laufe der Jahrzehnte, arbeitet Kontinuitt und Wandel heraus und untersucht, inwiefern sich der Fhrungsstil der Eigentmerfamilie auf Strategien, Werte und Unternehmenskultur auswirkte. Gesttzt auf den uneingeschrnkten Zugang zu den Unternehmensarchiven und auf Interviews mit den wichtigsten Persnlichkeiten, lassen die Autoren den Leser die dramatische Grndungsgeschichte des Familienunternehmens und dessen anhaltenden Erfolg auch in Zeiten wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und kulturellen Umbruchs nacherleben. Wunderschn gestaltet und mit vollfarbigen Archivfotos und Grafiken reich illustriert, ist Knowledge for Generations eine facettenreiche Chronik nicht nur eines au ergewhnlichen Unternehmens, sondern auch des Verlagswesens insgesamt.
