Business Market Research Collection

Are you wondering whether we still have access to Hoover’s Company Profiles? Yes, we still have Hoover’s but, as part of ProQuest’s simplification process, Hoover’s Company Profiles are now part of the Business Market Research Collection (BMRC), which brings four sources together to help students more easily conduct the research they need to produce business plans, marketing plans, startup plans, market growth analysis, and strategic and financial plans.

The Business Market Research Collection provides company, industry, and geopolitical macroeconomic market research from these sources:

  • Hoover’s Company Profiles, which offers information on 40,000 global public and non-public companies including location, summary financials, competitors, officers, and more.
  • OxResearch, which features succinct articles covering significant economic and political developments of major significance from a network of over 1,000 faculty at Oxford and beyond.
  • Barnes Reports, provide industry statistics and demographics in hundreds of studies on global manufacturing, retail, wholesale and services industries as well as consumer buying trends.
  • Snapshots Series, which includes market research overviews on over 40 industries and 40 countries to 2008.
