| long tail publishers: The Computer Darrel Ince, 2011-11-24 There is a companion web site asssociated with the book (http://vsicomputer.wordpress.com/). It contains chapter summaries, links to relevant material and posts about items of news relevant to the book's contents. Computers have changed so much since the room-filling, bulky magnetic tape running monsters of the mid 20th century. They now form a vital part of most people's lives. And they are more ubiquitous than might be thought - you may have more than 30 computers in your home: not just the desktop and laptop but think of the television, the fridge, the microwave. But what is the basic nature of the modern computer? How does it work? How has it been possible to squeeze so much power into increasingly small machines? And what will the next generations of computers look like? In this Very Short Introduction, Darrel Ince looks at the basic concepts behind all computers; the changes in hardware and software that allowed computers to become so small and commonplace; the challenges produced by the computer revolution - especially whole new modes of cybercrime and security issues; the Internet and the advent of 'cloud computing'; and the promise of whole new horizons opening up with quantum computing, and even computing using DNA. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable. |
| long tail publishers: WORLD: The Great Wall Of Publishing An Entrepreneurial Analogy SHEILA SHAW , 2025-03-26 The Great Wall of Publishing: An Entrepreneurial Analogy Just as the Great Wall of China stands as a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance, the journey of an independent author-entrepreneur in the publishing industry is a monumental undertaking that requires vision, strategy, and unwavering determination5. Imagine your publishing venture as a vast, interconnected structure akin to the Great Wall. You, the author-entrepreneur, are the emperor overseeing the construction and maintenance of this grand edifice. Your parent company is the imperial court, the central authority from which all decisions and resources flow7. Each watchtower along your publishing wall represents a subsidiary or role you must manage: The Author's Tower: This is where creativity flourishes, and your literary works are crafted. The Editor's Fortress: A stronghold of quality control, ensuring your content is polished and refined. The Designer's Pavilion: Where your book's visual identity takes shape, from cover art to interior layout. The Marketer's Beacon: A signal fire that attracts readers from far and wide. The Distributor's Gateway: The point where your book embarks on its journey to reach readers. Each of these towers functions as its own business unit, much like how Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works operated under the L Brands umbrella37. They are distinct entities with specialized functions, yet all contribute to the overall success of your publishing empire. As the emperor of this literary kingdom, you must wear many hats, switching roles as you move from tower to tower. One moment you're the visionary author, the next a meticulous editor, then a savvy marketer. This multifaceted approach mirrors the entrepreneurial spirit that drives successful self-published authors68. Your subsidiaries can be viewed as contracted freelancers or specialized departments within your empire. The editor might be an independent contractor, while your design team could be a small agency you collaborate with regularly. Your distribution arm might leverage platforms like Amazon KDP, acting as a vital partnership in your business model14. Remember, like the Great Wall, your publishing venture is not built in a day. It requires continuous effort, adaptation, and expansion. Each book you publish is a new section of the wall, extending your reach and influence in the literary landscape. As you stand atop your Great Wall of Publishing, surveying the vast territory of the book market, take pride in the empire you've built. Your ability to seamlessly transition between roles, manage diverse subsidiaries, and maintain a cohesive vision is what sets you apart in the world of independent publishing9. In this ever-evolving industry, your adaptability and entrepreneurial spirit are your greatest assets. Like the Great Wall, which has withstood the test of time, your publishing venture can become an enduring legacy—a testament to the power of independent authorship and entrepreneurial determination. |

| long tail publishers: Books, Bytes and Business Bill Martin, Xuemei Tian, 2016-04-08 How are businesses responding to global changes in markets driven by changes in technology? Whatever the industry, the trends are familiar: globalization and the rise of industrial conglomerates, mergers and acquisitions, the networking of businesses and markets, outsourcing and shifts in the distribution of resources and production, all reflected in the emergence of new players, new products and services and new forms of competition. As arguably the first knowledge-based business, book publishing provides an ideal setting for the study of challenge and opportunity. The industry is currently experiencing fierce levels of competition, extreme financial pressures, restructuring and the threat of technology-induced obsolescence. Added to these are the challenges posed by new and potential entrants to the market, the emergence of new products and services, new ways of doing business, including trading in virtual markets, and the vulnerability of traditional business models. The suitability of book publishing as a context for researching the emergence of knowledge-based business becomes all too apparent. Through combining primary research with secondary analysis drawn from the relevant literatures, Books, Bytes and Business is both a readable and informative account of business in the knowledge-based economy. |

| long tail publishers: Artisan Publishing Deren Hansen, 2014-09-18 Electronic publishing has upset the equilibrium enjoyed by the publishing industry for the last half-century.

| long tail publishers: Changing Face of Information: Support Services for Scientific Research David J. Brown, 2020-01-20 The health of scientific enterprise has become a critical political and social issue as nation states tackle austerity, diversity, global challenges, whilst simultaneously supporting a competitive and innovative national economy. A key asset in achieving such ambitions is for a scholarly information system which enables the fruits of the research effort to be disseminated efficiently. As the information support system struggles with adapting from a print-based to a digital process, the dysfunctionality current within STEM publishing in particular becomes evident. New ways of supporting research are emerging which require a new approach to publishing, an approach which takes on board the many demographic, social, technical and administrative changes taking place in both science itself and society. A radical strategic assessment is required and this book tracks key aspects required for any new future strategy. This book provides a catalogue of issues to which a future STEM information industry will need to adapt. They range from the effects of technology on the neurological processes of research to the growing use of technology to speed up the exchange of information among groups and collaboratories; from considerations about quality control yet maintaining intellectual ownership; from changing from an elitist STEM system favouring academics to a more democratic process with wider appeal. There is the neglected non-academic market and its need to share in the results of the research effort, often through partnership and being part of a ‘hive mind’. This is the large world of the unaffiliated knowledge workers, of which academia is numerically but a small part. The many changes taking place in scholarly information dictate that the future is unlikely to be a smooth and gradual evolution from the past. Radical new approaches are required, a revolution which takes on board the perfect storm of changes listed in this book. Just as such changes have changed the face of industries such as music and retail in recent years, so similar dramatic changes are likely to result in a restructuring of STEM into a more technologically-focused industry within the next decade. The implications for the current STEM stakeholders are profound. |

| long tail publishers: Dealing with Disruption Michael N. Ross, 2016-08-12 Publishing today requires a presence in local and global markets, and successful publishers can be more effective in reaching both by employing current technology at all stages of the publishing process. Finding the most efficient and profitable business models has become more challenging (and more rewarding) by the same advancements in technology. Michael Ross provides a roadmap to the essential aspects of the international publishing industry, from how to develop content that can be easily adapted to other cultures, to establishing relationships and negotiating licensing and co-publishing contracts. With a discussion of the critical innovations in the industry and through case studies from all stages in the publishing process, the book provides insights into the maturing of digital publishing and the challenges and opportunities provided by new technologies. Many publishing models have emerged over the last 15 years, and technology has made the mechanics of publishing in general, and web publishing in particular, easier. Thus, the role of the professional publisher is being challenged, and issues of quality and trust are now competing with easy access to information. Publishing, in all forms, can be viewed as a conspicuous bellwether for any business that must make strategic and tactical adjustments quickly to innovate and grow. Ross applies principles from both consumer and educational publishing to explore publishing's ongoing 'sea change' and its implications for other industries. |

| long tail publishers: The Oxford Handbook of Publishing Angus Phillips, Michael Bhaskar, 2019-04-11 Publishing is one of the oldest and most influential businesses in the world. It remains an essential creative and knowledge industry, worth over $140 billion a year, which continues to shape our education and culture. Two trends make this a particularly exciting time. The first is the revolution in communications technology that has transformed what it means to publish; far from resting on their laurels and retreating into tradition, publishers are doing as they always have - staying on the cutting edge. The second is the growing body of academic work that studies publishing in its many forms. Both mean that there has never been a more important time to examine this essential practice and the current state of knowledge. The Oxford Handbook of Publishing marks the coming of age of the scholarship in publishing studies with a comprehensive exploration of current research, featuring contributions from both industry professionals and internationally renowned scholars on subjects such as copyright, corporate social responsibility, globalizing markets, and changing technology. This authoritative volume looks at the relationship of the book publishing industry with other media, and how intellectual property underpins what publishers do. It outlines the complex and risky economics of the industry and examines how marketing, publicity, and sales have become ever more central aspects of business practice, while also exploring different sectors in depth and giving full treatment to the transformational and much discussed impact of digital publishing. This Handbook is essential reading for anyone interested in publishing, literature, and the business of media, entertainment, culture, communication, and information. |

Innovations in Magazine Publishing explores the key issues that publishers and editors have had to grapple with in recent years and demonstrates how they have changed their business models and encouraged innovation and creativity. Written in an engaging and accessible style, the authors and contributors have drawn on years of industry expertise and contacts to examine the massive changes that have taken place in the areas of content creation and advertising in the last decade. Beginning with a highly useful summary of UK magazine publishing history, the book then provides a detailed focus on how magazines have had to adapt to a declining revenue picture in both copy and advertisement sales. This discussion considers changes in ownership and the supply chain, mutual dependency on social media, the rapid growth of the independent sector, investing in brand and product extensions, and how media companies themselves have changed to meet the demands of the new era. The important issue of ethnic diversity within the UK publishing industry is addressed and the introduction also includes a discussion of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the industry, and how the magazine business will need to respond to whatever the future may bring. This comprehensive overview of the current state of the industry is a vital resource for students, researchers and professionals in magazine journalism, as well as for those studying media and journalism studies more generally. |
| long tail publishers: Publishing Contracts and the Post Negotiation Space Katherine Day, 2023-03-23 Many writers dream of having their work published by a respected publishing house, but don’t always understand publishing contract terms – what they mean for the contracting parties and how they inform book-publishing practice. In turn, publishers struggle to satisfy authors’ creative expectations against the industry’s commercial demands. This book challenges our perceptions of these author–publisher power imbalances by recasting the publishing contract as a cultural artefact capable of adapting to the industry’s changing landscape. Based on a three-year study of publishing negotiations, Katherine Day reveals how relational contract theory provides possibilities for future negotiations in what she describes as a ‘post negotiation space’. Drawing on the disciplines of cultural studies, law, publishing studies and cultural sociology, this book reveals a unique perspective from publishing professionals and authors within the post negotiation space, presenting the editor as a fundamental agent in the formation and application of publishing’s contractual terms. |
