Box 616 6200 MD Maastricht The Netherlands tel: +31-43-3883636 fax: +31-43-3884878 e-mail: [email protected] Prepared for the Business Library Review. Abstract The recent Bertelsmann buy-out of Springer ends 157 years of fiercely independent scholarly publishing. On Tuesday February 16, 1999, the European Commission decided that, although both companies are active in professional publishing, the takeover does not raise any competitive objections because they have different focuses in that (professional) market. "The market share increase through the merger is limited", the Commission said. "Consequently, the concentration has been declared compatible with the common market."1 This review article recalls the formidable history of this science publisher and its role in helping establish entire fields of science and technology. In particular, the role of this independent privately- held publishing company in confronting attempts infringing upon academic freedom is being emphasized. JEL codes: I28, L41, N44 keyword: science publishing 1 Wall Street Journal Europe, Wednesday, February 17, 1999, p. 5 On February 16, 1999, the European Commission allowed Bertelsmann's taking over the science publisher Springer-Verlag. Thus, a 157-year old privately-held company ceased to exist as an independent entity, a force that had shaped the landscape of scholarly publishing. Bertelsmann AG is the world's largest book publisher, and it is among the world's largest media companies.

Family businesses are usua- lly managed with a long-term vision, and there can be no doubt that the companies featured in this book provide a clear example of how to achieve this.” José María Serra, chairman of Grupo Catalana Occidente “This book is an effective tool for better understanding the manage- rial and industrial development of family businesses. This is undoub- tedly an objective approach that allows the reader to learn about the key factors that, in each case, have been fundamental to the suc- cess of centenarian companies.
