Changing Focus, 1973–1989
View through CrossRef
The Waldock Report revealed the London Business of OUP as an enormous organization that published a significant list that included bibles, music, children’s books, English Language Teaching, and general trade books, and undertook the advertising, marketing, warehousing, and distribution of all Press books. The London Business, located at Ely House, also administered the large and growing network of international branches. Relations between London and Oxford were strained, however, by a mixture of structural, financial, and personal problems. Attempts were made to rectify these problems, including the introduction of a Joint Management Committee, but in 1973 the Secretary and Delegates decided to restructure the Press entirely by removing the London Business to Oxford and merging the publishing functions into a more coherent organization. The chapter considers the logistics and financial costs of the move as well as the impact on the staff of London and Oxford.
