Question: Where can I find information on a company's strategy?
Answer:
  • In recent 10Ks, Annual Report (ARS) or Prospectuses look at the Business or Management Discussion. These are available through Thomson ONE Banker or the Securities and Exchange Commission.
  • Look for analysts' reports in Thomson ONE Banker, First Call, and, for technology companies, databases such as Forrester, Frost & Sullivan, and Gartner Online.
  • In Factiva try the following search: strateg* and wc>500 and atleast10 company name, for example, strateg* and wc>500 and atleast10 ebay. You can adjust the search with different word counts (wc>n) or mentions of the company name (atleastn) to expand or restrict the results.
  • In Business Source Complete (EBSCO) search strategic planning in the SU field , and the company name in the CO field. To broaden results, search only on the company name or use the term strateg* without specifiying a field. Experiment with other terms: interviews, new products, etc.
