Tiivistelmä
This research looks at the current situation of project management in educational publishing setting. The world of educational publishing is in a state of transition: book production requirements differ from how content is delivered in a multiplatform environment, not only through the selection of output channel – printed or digital – but also how project management within educational publishing is challenged. Traditionally, book publishing has followed the traditional ’Waterfall’ type of collaborative project management.
Through four interviews with industry experts in both UK and Finnish educational publishing settings, the thesis gives the reader a snapshot of the current situation and what the industry is facing in the new plural content era of content creation, and the challenges to business – not only to the wider book industry but in day-to-day management of projects in the ever-growing landscape of educational publishing.
