Finding company profiles and news in Business Source Complete:
At the top of the BSP web page, you'll see a blue bar with links to various items; one of these is "More." Position your cursor over "More," and a pulldown menu will appear. Click "Company Profiles" to get company profiles from MarketLine, a well-known and reputable business intelligence company. Key information presented in MarketLine profiles includes company sales, revenue, SWOT analyses and primary competitors.

A good way to locate product information is to do a search for news of the company. To find news about the company, enter the correct name of the company (for example, "Ford Motor Co." not "Ford") in the search interface. You'll find the correct name by looking in the Company Profiles listing. Make sure to specify in the drop-down menu in the search interface that you're searching by "CO Company Entity." You could also try a combined company/marketing strategy search by specifying a company name and "marketing", or company name and "marketing" or "marketing strategy."
