Company History
Ebony and Jet magazines are owned and published by American company Johnson Publishing, Inc. The company was founded in 1942 by John. H. Johnson and headquarter in Chicago, Illinois (Enotes, 2012). Presently this company is privately held and its chief executive officer is Desiree Rogers. Johnson publishing is the largest black owned publishing company in the United States.
Vision, Mission, Values
“Committed to celebrating the rich Black American experience by creating products that inform, entertain, engage, and inspire.”
Where The Company Is Going
Market Place Standing
Current Needs
"The sale of 820 S. Michigan is part of the continuing evolution of the company that my father and mother started in the early 1942s," Linda Johnson Rice, Johnson Publishing Co. chairman, said in a statement.
"Just as when JPC moved to this location in 1972, my father would be the first to say it makes good business sense to relocate to space that serves the current needs of the company."
Younger readership is needed for both Ebony and Jet Magazine.
Organizational Structure
Theories According to Dr. Carlos Thomas, a professor of Management and E-Commerce at Southern University, he argues that there is a general struggle that some family owned businesses have when it comes to securing the rational mindset necessary to expand and grow as the environment changes.
"There is extensive literature which cites that entrepreneurs who are used to micromanaging the company can sometimes have trouble adjusting their business model." "Ebony and Jet failed to respond to the 'Paradigm Shift' in the industry-at-large by sticking to that which is familiar," says Dr. Lewis. "There is also the socio-economic shift in that African Americans have been moving away from 'traditional' black/African American publications and Ebony & Jet may have missed this shift or decided to stay the course."
