From biotech to social media -- new industry reports for SFU researchers

Published by Mark Bodnar

We’ve recently purchased online access to 7 new industry almanacs by Plunkett Research, with more titles expected in the new few months. Each Plunkett ebook covers recent trends and statistics and provides descriptions of key companies in the industry. Geographic coverage of each title is global, but with a very strong US emphasis.

You can also access all of the online industry handbooks that we've bought via Plunkett, including several from previous years and some that we bought pre-publication that are still listed as "coming soon", via a single portal:   Plunkett Research Online. These almanacs were selected to augment the coverage of our other major market/industry databases: Passport GMID (fast-moving consumer goods focus, with some Canadian B2B coverage) and IBISWorld (more industrial/commodity focused). We’ve added a link to the Plunkett Research ebooks in our Industry Surveys research guide.
