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.'
