It serves international researchers, companies, practitioners and managers, mainly through their information providers such as librarians, but also direct. Committed to furthering the body of knowledge by the widespread dissemination of academic and professional research, MCB University Press actively works to support and extend its co-operative network of authors and editors. This is especially facilitated through its Literati Club , now a global network and Internet resource. History and ownership Based in Bradford, UK, MCB University Press is a privately owned company. It was founded in 1967 by a group of senior Business School academics who were dissatisfied with the publishing outlets available internationally for authors.
Academics continue to be actively involved in the business at both strategic and operational levels.
Accordingly, MCB University Press understands the rationale for academic and professional research and its application. It also shares the perceptions and processes of quality assurance for authors and readers. Today MCB University Press is a truly international organization. It collates the best management material from its extensive network of subject experts and centres of excellence throughout the world. Its editorial network, customer base and distribution channels are similarly global in nature.
