Company and Industry Information Industrial classification codes Company/ Industry Information  Benchmarking Finding Articles on Companies & Industries

Industrial Classification Codes The Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) is a useful tool for identifying key companies within an industry and conceptualizing the industry as a whole. SIC codes group together companies based on the goods and services produced. SIC codes are used in a number of databases and print reference resources. In some cases, the SIC codes used in Canada differ from those used in the U.S. A print version of the SIC table of codes is found in the Canadian Key Business Directory available in the Bronfman Business Library Reference Room. SIC codes for Canada are also available on Statistics Canada's web site . The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industrial classification system common to Canada, United States and Mexico. Gradually, the SIC system will be phased out in favour of the NAIC system. There are some differences however so if questions arise you will need to refer to: Canada - NAICS 2012 U.S. Census Bureau: NAICS

Company/Industry Information Mergent Online: Provides information for over 10,000 U.S. public companies and almost 20,000 non-U.S. public companies.

Finding Articles on Industries and Industry Trends ProQuest Business This link allows you to access the 5 preselected ProQuest business databases. The 5 databases are ABI/Inform Global, ABI/Inform Trade and Industry, CBCA Completed: Business, ProQuest Asian Business and Reference, ProQuest European Business. These databases contain citations and abstracts for business and management publications, many of which are available in full-text or full-image. Business Source Premier: contains full text for 2300 periodicals and other sources, including scholarly journals, trade and general business magazines, monographs, country economic and industry reports, industry yearbooks, and market research reports. Factiva : includes over 31,000 sources from more than 200 countries in 26 languages, including more than 600 continuously updated newswires.  For newspapers, the service provides same-day and archival coverage of The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Washington Post, The Globe and Mail, National Post, Toronto Star, Financial Times and local newspapers from every corner of the globe.

Developing an Effective Search Strategy for full-text article databases Avoid natural language but use operators “and” and “or” to search: “and” is used for combination of distinctive concepts and has effect of narrowing search Finance and risk analysis; earnings and estimates; westjet and debt “or” is used to combine synonyms or like terms and broadens search Westjet or ryanair; trend* or outlook or forecasts* Use truncation symbols where appropriate to find relevant variants on a word financ* = finance, finances, financial As a rule it is best to put phrases with more than two words in quotes ceo* or “chief executive officer*” ; ipo or “initial public offering” Take note of the subject headings used and suggested in the database to refine your search Finding Business Articles

Citing Business Resources Bronfman Business Citation Guide in MLA and APA Guidelines for citing information in different styles available on York Library web site also. For citing unusual resources such as blogs, personal emails, multimedia etc., see net.Tutor Quick Guide:Citing Net Resources.
