Emerald sparkles but needs a little more polish

Emerald Management First is an online library of specialist business reports, interviews, analysis and journal articles, fed from a global selection of business schools and universities. There is also access to some of Emerald Publishing's treasure chest of business information and editorial opinion to add to the mix.

The site is organised into 11 main sectors, or communities as Emerald refers to them: management and leadership; marketing; change management; strategy; e-business, IT and finance; quality management; healthcare management; knowledge management; human resources; and a separate public sector space as well.

While the site's opinion pieces,

guru interviews, features and executive summaries are plucked from Management First databases, some of the content originates in Emerald's journal portfolio which is held at sister site, Emeraldinsight.com.

Apart from a new window popping up when you move between the two areas, the transition between the sites is barely noticeable as they use a similar page template. However, things slow down when you reach an article, with a log-in once again required, which may quickly prove annoying to regular users.
