Industry Research
Business decision makers, sales and marketing staff, entrepreneurs, and students look to industry overviews for a variety of reasons, such as business development, corporate strategy, product development, and market-size assessments-or maybe to just confirm in-house data.
Industry research involves many facets, and researchers must have a strong grasp of the appropriate data sources and the strengths and weaknesses of those sources in addition to Internet and database searching skills.
This webinar covers:
- A discussion and comparison of the best databases and internet sites that provide industry information
- An analysis and discussion of “off-the-shelf” industry reports and how you can add value to them
- Expert web searching techniques to uncover “pearls” of information
Attendees will receive a pdf workbook and bibliography of sources.
Company Research
Business decision makers, sales and marketing staff, entrepreneurs, and students look for company data for a variety of reasons, such as market research, jobs, competitive intelligence and due diligence.
Company research can be simple, if you are researching a publicly traded entity. Private companies, on the other hand, are much more problematic because they are not required to disclose financial information.

- A discussion and comparison of the best databases and internet sites that provide company data and information
