Emerald: the world's leading publisher of management research

“As researchers and publishers in management we need to ask ourselves – are we helping to make a better-managed world? Are we creating and disseminating research which people can use?”

– John Peters, Chief Executive, Emerald Group Publishing.

Good research in management should help the world to be better managed. As the world’s leading publisher of business and management research, with 200 journals and a wide range of serials, series and books in management and related fields, we believe we have an important role in encouraging research which helps the world be better managed.

A better managed world is a world which is worth striving for. A better managed world means more equality, less poverty, better government, better public services, more wealth, more education, more knowledge and more wisdom. To make the world better managed means a bridging of the gap between the world of research and the world of application.
