Doing research for a business class or looking for more information on a company you want to work for? Check out the following featured tool offered by LexisNexis Academic.

Get Company Info Widget Box
The Get Company Info widget box allows a person to get a company profile by entering a Company Name or a Ticker Symbol. Company Profiles include Hoover's Company Records, LexisNexis Corporate Affiliations, Standard & Poors Corporate Descriptions, and Nelson's Analyst Company Coverage to name a few. To do more in-depth Business research, navigate to the "Companies" section on the left-side navigation bar or click on the "Company Dossier" link provided at the bottom of the widget.

If one uses the left-side navigation bar and click on “Companies”, one sees links to the “Company Dossier," “Dossier Create a Company List,” “Dossier Compare Companies,” “Company Profiles,” and “SEC Filings.” If one clicks on the “Company Dossier” link at the bottom of the widget, one gets access to the same tools as listed in the “Companies” left-side navigation link plus an option to find information on a particular company executive (use the Executive Tab) or a specific industry (use the Industry Tab), like finance.

Happy hunting!
