Emerald was formed in 1967 as Management Consultants Bradford (MCB) by a group of academics who were dissatisfied by the publishing outlets of the time. The premise was to focus on niche management disciplines including strategy, change management and international marketing. It acquired its first journal, Management Decision (originally the British Journal of Management), the following year for £1.
Fifty academics from the University of Bradford Management Centre each paid £100 for a share in the company in 1969 to allow the company to buy a building on Keighley Road, Bradford, West Yorkshire. MCB subsequently purchased adjacent properties. The first employee was hired in 1970.
Individual journals were managed in separate companies and MCB became a "service company" for the journal companies. As the company continued to grow, by 1977 it was decided that the individual journal companies would be merged into one company, MCB Publications Ltd.
