Talentum will be strengthening its book publishing operations by
concentrating the publishing of professional literature and law books
in the same department. This will enable a more diverse use of
expertise and creativity, and by pooling resources Talentum will be
better able to develop publications for other channels in addition to
the traditional printed book.
Minna Näsänen (41) has been appointed the director responsible for
the book publishing business. Previously she has been the chief
editor of the Suomen Laki (Finnish Law) compendium and held
responsibility for the Suomen Laki division's business operations.
Näsänen has 15 years' experience of different jobs within the
publishing sector. She has also been made a member of Talentum's
Management Team in Finland, reporting to CEO Juha Blomster.
"We see a great deal of potential for book publishing at Talentum,
and we will also be aiming to find many other channels for book
content where we can be of service to our readers," says Juha
Blomster.
"The Suomen Laki family goes back a long way at Talentum, and the
wide range of professional literature is appreciated by its readers.
Producing books for new channels and the potential from international
operations are stimulating areas for development, but the printed
book still has a role to play," says Minna Näsänen. "I am convinced
that concentrating the publishing of professional literature and law
books in one division will serve both our readers and writers," she
continues.
The flagship for Talentum's publishing is Suomen Laki with its
familiar green cover and the online version of the volumes at
www.suomenlaki.com. Successes in the professional literature include
Johtamisen tulevaisuus (The Future of Management), Osakeyhtiölaki
books concerning the Limited Liability Companies Act and Perintö- ja
lahjaverotus (Inheritance and Gift Taxation).
