To continue meeting the quickly evolving needs of today's students, teachers and scholars, ABC-CLIO, the long-time leader in reference publishing, has re-organized its company structure into two new divisions: the Academic Division and the Schools Division. Ron Boehm, ABC-CLIO's CEO is pleased with his company's exciting step forward into the twenty-first century. "Our new structure allows the Academic Division to maintain a clear focus on the researchers' and scholars' information needs, while the Schools Division will concentrate on providing middle and high school students and teachers with tailor-made reference solutions." ABC-CLIO's long established Books and Serials divisions will comprise the new Academic Division, which will be helmed by Editorial Director Gary Kuris. The company's cutting-edge Interactive Media division will become the new Schools division, led by Becky Snyder, ABC-CLIO's Vice President and Publisher. Boehm adds, "the re-organization will have little effect on the current work of the editorial groups. We will continue to leverage products, content, and technologies across the company. The largest impact will be in the area of Marketing and Sales, particularly in the hires to be made for both new divisions." Customer Service, Finance, and Systems Resources will continue to provide services across divisions and for the company as a whole. The International Division will proceed with developing products for academic audiences and selling all relevant ABC-CLIO titles to the international markets. "From digital text books to multi-media encyclopedias," Boehm adds, "ABC-CLIO has long been known for developing new products on the leading edge of technology. To ensure that we remain a nimble leader in the marketplace, we must maintain our careful focus on the specific reference needs of researchers, students, and teachers from middle school up through graduate school. Our new management structure was designed to do exactly that." |
