This document discusses company data and how to identify relationships between corporate entities. It defines what is meant by a "company" and "company data", which includes information like a company's name, address, formation date, directors, subsidiaries, and shareholders. The document explores how entities may be related through similar names, common ownership or parents, shared directors, registered addresses, or overlapping formation/dissolution dates. It provides examples of using OpenCorporates API calls and data reconciliation to gather this information on specific companies.

Thoughts on Researching Companies and Industries
Conor Vibert Ph.D.
Picture this. You walk into work one day and your boss mentions that an exciting opportunity has arisen that has come of out left field involving a company and industry that your organization is not that familiar with. You will be part of a conference later in the day and all participants are expected to be up to speed as much as possible with the firm and industry in question. In many instances, a key word search using an engine such as Google will give you the information that you need. However this is not always the case. As a result it is often useful to know a few sources of information. The websites of companies host a wealth of information but frequently when we want to understand the behavior of companies, we need to move beyond what the company has to say about itself. The following paragraphs offer some ideas about how to do this.
About Industries
Students may find useful information about companies, organizations, markets, and industries in a number of different online locations.
Biz.Yahoo http://biz.yahoo.com/ic/ and Reuters http://www.reuters.com/finance/global-market-data offer corporate profiles, overviews of industries, lists of companies competing in the same industry that in turn link to profiles, news related to specific industries and companies, financial data, tools for benchmarking financial performance, profiles of corporate executives and directors and information on ownership structures. Along with this, they often identify key regulators and professional and industry associations for each industry. Companies competing in Canadian industries can be found using the key search function found on Industry Canada’s http://www.ic.gc.ca/epic/site/ccc-rec.nsf/en/Home web site.
How might the most recent information about an industry or company be obtained? Why not try the keyword search capabilities of news aggregators found through Google (http://news.google.com) or Yahoo (http://news.yahoo.com).
A number of information sources do a very good job of offering clear descriptions of industries. High Beam Business http://business.highbeam.com/industry-reports, Plunkett Research http://www.plunkettresearch.com/, Value Line http://www.valueline.com/Stocks/Industries.aspx, Statista http://www.statista.com/topics/ and Franchise Help http://www.franchisehelp.com/industry-reports/industry-information/ are free sources but focus primarily on U.S or North American industry overviews and industry analysts. Examples of Porter Five Forces overviews of a dozen industries may be found in The Industry Handbook available from Investopedia http://www.investopedia.com/features/industryhandbook/. The overviews also include key ratios and terms for the industries being examined. Of interest as well is Hoovers. Although a pay service http://www.hoovers.com/industry-analysis/industry-directory/a-z.html, it offers a brief summary paragraph describing the com ...

DHX Media Is considering entering the market in Vietnam specifically by opening an office. Opinions are mixed on the company board of directors as whether this is a good idea. Your firm has been asked to assess the cultural, administrative, geographic and economic distance between your company and its industry in North America and that in this Asian country.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement.

Some slide prompts to support a data framing investigation around corporate data.
When I buy something from a Shell petrol station, who do I enter into a transaction with?When Shell builds a new petrol station, who owns it?When Shell enters into a new extraction contract, who actually enters the contract?What, exactly, is this thing we thing of as the company “Shell”?
It’s a sprawl….
Can we make sense of the sprawl using company data?And if so, what sort of company data?
An accurate statement of the company name could be useful, and a company registration number in some jurisidiction.It could be even more useful to have a single “meta” or international namespace within which a unique identifier for every registered corporate entity could exist.
There may be other bits of information we can use to make sense of how a company evolves. When was it created, for example, or dissolved; and who are the directors?
It would also be useful if we could identify how companies are related to each other through various ownership relationships.(And if we could identify contractual relationships between members of the same corporate sprawl, that could be useful too…)
One possible source for some of this data – in a data format – is OpenCorporates.comThere are a couple of ways we can pull the company data out (and we can also get some directors information too…)
We can search for a company by name…
Or we can use something called a reconciliation API to get a confidence scored match on a company given its name…
We can look up data for a company given its corporate identifier. This information includes the registered address, formation date, and so on…
And more data from the identifier lookup… here are the directors, for example.
We can also start topull out information about subsidiaries of a company.
For the directors, we can search for them by name (putting the name in quotes looks for an exact match on the quoted string).
So that’s some of the data we have to hand. Now how we can make use of see to see how companies are linked?
Here are a few ideas…
Now it’s your turn….

If you aren’t a programmer, here’s way of getting the data into a tabular form you may be more comfortable with…
We can load the data in from an appropriately formed JSON URL
Select the block of data typical of the sort you want to map into a single row.
Here’s the result – nicely tabulated data.
You can also find identifiers from company names using the reconciliation API.
And if you want to pull down more data about a company using it’s company identifier, or more information about a director from an officers record, you can do…
