BUSINESS RESEARCH GUIDE
Company Directories


Company directories are list creation tools. Use directories to locate customers, competitors, or employers by type of business, size or location. Directories can also be used to identify corporate affiliation - parents, subsidiaries, divisions, and branches. For help, contact J. Michael Davis, Business Librarian, jmdavis@library.umass.edu.
