Join RMSLA and SLA members and guests for our upcoming Virtual Lunch, “U.S. Private Company Research: Research and Analysis,” with presenter Amelia Kassel.
Date: Thursday, September 20, 2012
Time: 12:00 noon, Mountain Daylight Time
Researching company information is vitally important to clients served by information professionals. Unlike public companies, U.S. private companies are not required to disclose financial information, nor are they regulated in the same way. Nevertheless, there are numerous sources for piecing together information about a private company. This webinar covers a selection of proprietary and Web-based sources, and includes tips for digging more deeply to generate those often needed results that are critical for competitive intelligence, market research, and due diligence.
