Die lebendige Geschichte eines der ältesten Verlagshäuser Amerikas - erschienen aus Anlass des 200-jährigen Firmenjubiläums
Das Unternehmen John Wiley & Sons wurde vor zweihundert Jahren, zur Zeit der Präsidentschaft Thomas Jeffersons, gegründet und spielt seitdem eine bedeutende Rolle im Verlagswesen. Aus Anlass des Geschäftsjubiläums 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 Kräften geformt wurde. Knowledge for Generations beleuchtet die unternehmerischen Stärken und Schwächen im Laufe der Jahrzehnte, arbeitet Kontinuität und Wandel heraus und untersucht, inwiefern sich der Führungsstil der Eigentümerfamilie auf Strategien, Werte und Unternehmenskultur auswirkte. Gestützt auf den uneingeschränkten Zugang zu den Unternehmensarchiven und auf Interviews mit den wichtigsten Persönlichkeiten, lassen die Autoren den Leser die dramatische Gründungsgeschichte des Familienunternehmens und dessen anhaltenden Erfolg auch in Zeiten wirtschaftlichen, sozialen und kulturellen Umbruchs nacherleben. Wunderschön gestaltet und mit vollfarbigen Archivfotos und Grafiken reich illustriert, ist Knowledge for Generations eine facettenreiche Chronik nicht nur eines au ergewöhnlichen Unternehmens, sondern auch des Verlagswesens insgesamt.
