Huveaux Comment
Comment included within Scotsman article:
Perhaps of greater significance than what this says about academic and political publishing, is what it says about the on-line learning and electonic publishing markets.
Prior to their £12m deal for Leckie & Leckie, Huveaux spent around £24m on Epic, one of the UKs leading e-learning companies. The idea being that their expertise would generate a leap forward in electronic publishing, whilst also giving Epic a new source of e-learning content.
The revised earnings and drop in Corporate value, suggests that great leap forward has not happened.
What with the news from DA the other week, and the snail like pace with which both public and private sectors are adopting technology, are we ever going to be able to sustain a profitable e-learning industry?
