Abstract

This is the first of a two-case series (302-080-1 and 302-081-1). Case (A) describes the economics of the publishing industry in the US, and the major competitors. Case (B) describes the arrival of e-books and e-publishing, the strategies of the upstart e-publishers, the established publishers, and the technology providers. The case is ideal to study the impact of technology disruption/substitution on an established industry. It also allows a study of vertical integration, following these initiatives of the publishers in the wake of e-publishing.
