Finding Information
Finding information requires wide research…this is deliberate!
Some information is up-to-date but some is dated
Encourages the use of researching different sources (not just market reports) to learn about the category
It won’t be perfect…in the real world it rarely is!
You really need to develop this skill for year 3
Business Source Complete
Covers UK and international business, management and economics issues across a range of sectors including construction, IT, education, and health.
Provides full-text journal articles; market, company & industry sector reports; and country intelligence.
Most of the journals on the database are included in UWE Library search.
A really useful database (not just for this module!)
Business Source Complete
A short introduction video to searching using Business Source Complete
Login to Business Source
Business Source Complete
Works for all option organisations
You can research market sectors too e.g. body care
You can also research key competitors to find information too
Can use the ‘AND’ ‘OR’ (drop down)
to refine further
e.g. UK to restrict results
Activity
Go onto the Library website and go to Databases
Find Business Source Complete and access the database
In the top search box type ‘Beats’ – what do you get?
Now type ‘Beats Electronics’ – does this refine your search more effectively?
Now try the search for your chosen organisation
Finding Sources
There are many resources that can help you
You may have to try different terms to find what you need
Remember to use a range of sources including market reports and publications as well as academic books and journals to support your marketing plan
