Company Data and Information
New technologies may have competition in small and privately-held companies, which share less information publicly. At times, finding competitors is difficult so asking for library help is best.
To better understand a company and its performance, this type of information includes:
- Company’s financials
- Products and services
- SWOT reports (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats)
- Industry pressures and challenges
- Competitors
- Analyst reports
The company’s website will give you the company's perspective on their performance; using other sources will give you additional opinions.
