In groups, consider these six scenarios and how you may tackle researching this topic:
1. I am looking for financial information on IKEA (a private company). Where are two places I can go to get this kind of information?
2. I am interested in pursuing a career in the music copyright industry. How might I find a report in IBISWorld that helps me build an industry report?
3. I want to know more about the Water Park industry (NAICS code 713110.01) closest to Nashville TN specifically. In BizMiner, how might I go about collecting this information, and what caveats should I consider by taking this approach?
4. I want to start a business teaching online yoga classes through Zoom. Using the "Consumer Values and Behaviour in the USA" country report on Euromonitor Passport, what information about consumers might I get to determine if this service would be of interest to people living in the United States?
5. I am interested in the mobile phone game industry. What information may I find about that industry in Euromonitor Passport? What industry(ies) could either be in competition with this one or possibly influence this?
6. I am working in the airline industry and want to know more about some of the common problems consumers have with the industry. Starting with Statista, where else can I go to get more data and statistics about this industry (hint: start by searching for "flight delays")? SELECT ANOTHER QUESTION ABOVE FOR THIS ONE.
