Publisher's Synopsis
This guide is designed to provide an overview of the available rights and royalties software systems. It starts with a short introduction to rights and royalties and some of the trends in the field and then looks at the potential benefits offered by software systems, followed by identifying the main types of software. The second section offers a number of illustrative case studies, based on telephone interviews with rights and royalties managers at a number of leading publishers. The final sections list and describe the software that was available on the (English language) market at the time of writing in mid-2007.
