About Us - Palgrave Macmillan
Palgrave Macmillan is a global academic publisher, serving learning and scholarship in higher education and the professional world. We publish textbooks, journals, monographs, professional and reference works in print and online. Our programme focuses on the Humanities, the Social Sciences and Business.
As part of the Macmillan Group, we represent an unbroken tradition of 150 years of independent academic publishing, continually reinventing itself for the future.
Our goal is to be publisher of choice for all our stakeholders- for authors, customers, business partners, the academic communities we serve and the staff who work for us. We aim to do this by reaching the maximum readership with works of the highest quality.
For the authors, learned societies, academic organisations, and customers with whom we work:
- We offer a unique breadth of experience, giving a full international publishing service to communities we work with- spanning textbooks, scholarly books, and journals, print and online.
- We have the resources of our large parent organisation, but combine this with the more intimate feel of a small company- personal, flexible, and responsive.
- We recognize the importance of partnerships to our business success, and combine a culture of service with high standards of professionalism.
- We combine creativity with efficiency, and innovation with appropriate, cost-effective, and timely action.
- We have the stability of ownership and the dedicated staffing to build long-term, productive relationships.
For staff and prospective staff:
- We believe that the success of the business and individual personal fulfilment must go hand in hand.
- We foster a culture of challenge.
- We believe that a key element in motivating staff is to help them learn and develop.
- We recognise that our organisation is effective though its teamwork, enabling each individual to contribute to the maximum.
