INDUSTRY RESEARCH USING THE ECONOMIC CENSUS AND OTHER GOVERNMENT SOURCES

PART 1:                        Wednesday, December 11, 2013 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM (EST)

To understand an industry is to understand the context in which a company operates. This course will review the Economic Census and other free government sources that could help you find specific data, create an industry profile, define competition, and monitor the business environment. If you work with small to medium size businesses this webinar will give you the confidence to help with marketing plans for entrepreneurs and economic development plans for policy makers.

Hands-on "Quiz" will get you into the sources and using the services. Come back the following week to share what you found and discuss the joys and struggles and go deeper into industry research.
