[…] arguments that are of purely internal significance. Meetings with the sales rep are not the time to argue about internal workflows, budget allocations, collection development strategies, personality conflicts, and management style. It’s unprofessional to have family quarrels in front of […]
[…] systems for peer review were implemented as publishers accepted more author manuscripts from an increasingly global pool of researchers. Production. Workflow was reengineered to start with “digital first,” and work was outsourced to lower costs and shorten cycle times, which […]

[…] digital technology unless they could rewrite the rules for this market in some way. And some did: lower costs through workflow engineering; higher prices from adding pages and issues to journals; and, most importantly, market dominance by bundling a number […]
[…] Responsive web design, especially the complex variety seen in the Boston Globe, is not easy to implement. It requires different workflows than many web developers are used to. While the process can begin with traditional wireframes and glossy design work, […]
