Thoughts on Researching Companies and Industries

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).
