Gale Business Insights upgraded to "Global" edition

We recently had an upgrade to our Gale suite of products. So Business Insights Essentials is now Business Insights Global (same URL, https://library.uncg.edu/dbs/auth/go.aspx?vdbID=81 )

This continues to be sort of a "one stop shopping" source for company and industry research. Pretty easy to use. It also provides content from many of the Gale business reference book titles, like the Market Share Reporter and the International Histories..., for those of you who remember those titles.

From Gale:

"This database is perfect for quickly finding information for the assignments Business students are often given:  Analyze a Case Study, Create a SWOT Analysis, Complete a Strategic Analysis for a Company, Develop an International Business Strategy for a Company. Students will find information on the History, Growth and Development of a company over time, resources to identify a company’s internal strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats. With Business Insights: Global, students can analyze corporate level strategies, and interpret their findings. There are:

             

• SWOT Reports
• Case Studies
• Plunkett Reports –  I have attached a sample Industry Report, to showcase just how valuable they can be
