Directory Of Business Information

It is one of the great ironies of the "Information Age": we know a vast ocean of information now lies open to us, but it's all 'out there' somewhere; in fact, information often seems less accessible than ever before. And in business, where important judgments, decisions, and opportunities ride on timely access to crucial information, the irony becomes painful. Now, with the Directory of Business Information, businesspeople can access the vital information they need quickly and directly. Written by business journalist Lawrence Rasie, this valuable guide describes thousands of sources of information—and then links them directly to business databanks. It includes a framework of information on major industries and companies to help you narrow your search to the specific data you need. It also provides a network of sources for business research in any part of the country—without leaving your home, office, or school. The Directory of Business Information is divided into four major parts: Part 1 describes general sources of business information, including printed sources, online databases, CD ROM databases, microfilm, and telephone sources. Here you'll find a wealth of good starting points for your research: broad indexes to business news and trends, comprehensive directories for industries and companies, yearbooks, business newspapers and periodicals, major business broadcasts, and major business databases. Part 2 helps you focus in on three essential business topics: the economy, industries, and leading companies. In this part, which in itself would be worth the price of the book, the author summarizes the current status and future prospects of 350 major industries and the top 2,500 companies in those industries—complete with addresses, phone numbers, and approximate sales levels. Sources for further research include specialized indexes, periodicals, trade associations, and more. Part 3 opens up sources on specific business topics and functions, including new and small businesses, international business, and the federal government, among others. Part 4 shows you how to get valuable state and regional information, including—for each state—a description of its economy, key government offices, data centers and libraries, local publications, and a list of its largest companies and largest in-state employers. To make it even easier to use, the Directory of Business Information is supported by thorough, carefully prepared indexes, and by the inclusion of thousands of phone numbers of business experts in government, corporations, industry associations, publications, and libraries. For anyone involved with business in the United States—executives, investors, salespeople, librarians, and researchers—the Directory of Business Information is indispensable: it's the first place to look.

The objective of this publication is to provide a 'one stop' guide to business information, insofar as that is possible within the confines of a useable book. It aims to give guidance on both the published and organisational sources relevant to the needs of the non-professional business researcher and provides a listing of 'worthwhile' references and contacts. As previously, the Directory is organised so that both published sources and information centres are grouped together under their applicable Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) number and heading. This new edition also incorporates NACE classification and correlation tables. The second category again includes those UK and pan-national organisations which focus on specific, discrete industry sectors, which limits the number of organisational sources in the directory to those that are 'most worthwhile'.

"Associations, newsletters, magazines & journals, trade shows, directories & databases, web sites."
