Abstract

Recently, foreign and U.S. corporations have purchased a significant number of U.S. publishers. If this consolidation continues, a small number of firms could dominate the publishing and information-processing industry in this nation and the world. Albert Greco outlines the pattern of mergers and acquisitions of U.S. publishing firms between 1984 and 1988; describes some theories explaining the increase in mergers and acquisitions; and examines some key public policy issues.
