Abstract
AbstractThe paper analyzes results of the research on the competitiveness of the European Union book publishing industries, which was conducted by the Turku School of Economics in Finland, and commisioned by the European Commission. The paper compares economic performance of Slovene book-publishing industry with book-publishing industries of EU member states. It shows that in the mid-nineties, the competitiveness of the Slovene book industry was above EU average, but, after 1995, it started to decline. The reasons for such a decline could be found in expensive selling channels, in the inability to benefit from high investments in information technologies, in the inability of Slovene publishers to develop a proper mass market for books (which was substituted by library loans) and lack of proper managerial skills and publishing education.
