It acquired its first journal, ''Management Decision'' (originally the ''British Journal of Management''), the following year for £1.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=40 Years in Publishing 1967-2007 )〕 One of the co-founders, Barrie Pettman, served as its chairman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Professor and Mrs Pettman - DARE )〕 Fifty academics from the University of Bradford Management Centre each paid £100 for a share in the company in 1969 to allow the company to buy a building on Keighley Road, Bradford, West Yorkshire. The first employee was hired in 1970.〔 Individual journals were managed as separate companies and MCB became a "service company" for the journal companies. In 1977 it was decided that the individual journal companies would be merged into one company, MCB Publications Ltd.〔 By 1981 the company had grown to 20 employees and was publishing 15 journals. From 1982 through 1997 the company was the official publisher for an independent action learning business school (International Management Centres). The year also saw the acquisition of ''Anbar'', which later became ''Emerald Reviews''. In 1984 company expansion resulted in a move to new premises on Toller Lane, Bradford.〔http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/7220486〕 By 1990 it was publishing 65 journals.〔 MCB was renamed Emerald in 2001.〔 In 1992 ''Floppy Anbar'' (CD-ROM) was launched becoming the first product to be offered in an electronic format. This was accompanied by Literati, a database and network of authors and editors. In 1994, the company began publishing some of its journals as the Electronic Management Research Library Database (EMERALD) on CD-ROM. Emerald Fulltext journals became available in 1995, rebranded as Emerald Management Xtra in 2004. Emerald launched the ManagementFirst website in 2000 (it later became Emerald ManagementFirst in 2007), aimed at corporate customers. By 2002, there were 153 employees and 1.5m article downloads. In 2006 Emerald announced a partnership with iParadigms, the developers of the Turnitin anti-plagiarism detection product. In 2007 Emerald acquired a programme of Management and Social Science book serials, series and monographs from Elsevier.〔http://www.thebookseller.com/news/emerald-acquires-elsevier-titles〕 The acquisition of health and social care publisher Pier Professional Limited took place in 2011 and was hailed as a "a significant milestone" in the company's bid to grow.〔http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/business/8915496.print/〕 In 2014 Emerald was one of several publishers to sign a deal to partner with Kudos, a service that helps increase the impact of published articles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Press release: Kudos announces pilot results, additional clients )〕 In 2015 Emerald extended its relationship with Portico to preserve its e-books in the Portico archive, ensuring that their e-book content will be secure and available into the future.
