The Wiley/Blackwell deal

November 19, 2006 ~ Eoin Purcell ~ Leave a comment

I missed much of the coverage on this deal in which Wiley acquired Blackwell but it strikes me as one more sign that there is a great deal of acquisition to come and industry consolidation too.

With the Riverdeep acquistion recently this marks one of a few large and interesting recent moves. Over on Personanondata you will find much better coverage such as this.
