Business Outlook
Pros
Pearson textbooks and digital products still are top of the line in terms of quality and accuracy; they really do listen to their customers and try their best to serve both instructors and students. Many people still believe in the mission of improving people's lives and opening doors through learning.
Cons
If Pearson keeps cutting corners and decreasing resources, the quality will suffer. I can understand shifting a certain amount of resources away from traditional books to digital and online learning platforms, but the content still has to come from somewhere, and if they simply outsource everything to contractors and continue to cut staff and budgets, there won't be anybody there to care about the content.
