MGT 121: Service Excellence (Pastor): Research Databases & News

Research Databases

For research databases that relate to Business, check out:  A-Z Databases: Business. See below for recommended business-related databases.

In ABI/Inform, you can find published strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis for many public companies. Start with the name of your company and the term "SWOT" or "SWOT Analysis". 

In Business Source Complete, you can find published strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis for many public companies. Start with the name of your company. For example, a search for "Jollibee Foods" retrieves various results, including the most recent SWOT Analysis. For company profile information, select the tab "More" and scroll down to Company Profiles and type in your company to find full-text reports.

In Statista, type in "swot" in the search box. On the search results page, scroll through the list and select one of the reports, e.g. Retail: Food & Beverages in the U.S. 2020. Select "Download report" to review the full-text PDF report. The report should include a SWOT analysis in the introduction of the report.

News & Newspapers

If you are looking for newspaper articles, these databases will be helpful.  If you are looking for topics related to Hawaii, I would recommend using ProQuest News & Newspapers which includes Hawaii newspapers. Be sure to include Hawaii as one of your search terms.
