MGMT 511 Foundations of Strategy: Home

Below is a select list. For guides on other disciplines (e.g., education, community health, etc.), check the Subject Guides page.

To gather information, you may need to do both secondary research and primary research. This guide is created to walk you through the secondary research process by:

1. offering tips on doing secondary research
2. recommending both library and free resources

Please keep in mind that not all topics are created equal. The sources listed in this guide don't have all the answers. You will have to broaden your topic or do primary research if:

• Your topic is too new or specific that nobody has written about it.
• Information you want is not available for free (e.g., most market research reports and publications from industry associations)
• Information you want is proprietary (e.g., internal documents, trade secrets, most private company financial data).

• Contact a librarian 24/7 using our chat services.
• Email questions will receive a response in one business day.
• You can get help in person at the research help desk, 1st floor of the Library these days and times.
