The University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management has partnered with the University of Toronto Press to create Rotman/UTP Publishing. The imprint’s first two titles pub this fall, and eight more will follow next year. The press hopes to double that number in 2010.
This week, Rotman/UTP Publishing launched its inaugural title, Bruce Little’s Fixing the Future: How Canada’s Usually Fractious Governments Worked Together to Rescue the Canada Pension Plan. Following that, in late November, the imprint will release The Finance Crisis and Rescue: What Went Wrong? Why? What Lessons Can be Learned?, a compilation by 10 Rotman faculty.
The imprint’s advisory board will oversee the publication of works that bridge research and practice. Roger Martin, dean of the Rotman School, said the partnership between the business school and the university press “will allow us to further our reputation for offering the very latest in business thinking.”
The University of Toronto Press publishes more than 150 new scholarly, reference and general-interest books each year. Earlier this year, it acquired Broadview Press's social sciences and history lists inventory and contractual rights.
