Company Information:

1. Business & Company Resource Center

   Business & Company Resource Center is very useful for finding a variety of company and industry information, including financial information and journal articles. From the main search screen, type a company's name or ticker symbol in the top search box. Then click the green "Search" button. You'll be taken to a list of all companies that meet your search criteria. This may include a parent company and its subsidiaries. Click the company name that matches the company for which you want information. The first screen you'll see has general corporate information, including contact information, key personnel, and basic financial statistics. The tabs at the top of the screen will take you to a great deal of additional information, including newspaper and magazine articles, detailed financial information, and investment reports (if available).

2. Factiva

   Factiva is an excellent source for company information. Use the "Companies/Markets" tab to find a company's key competitors, top management personnel, financial data, as well as relevant newspaper, business and trade journal articles.
