Gabelli Sophomore Consulting Challenge (CCIP): 5 - SWOT Reports

This guide has been created for students enrolled in the Gabelli Sophomore Consulting Challenge course. It is designed to supplement the submission assignment handouts and course blackboard content.

Many ways to find SWOT reports

Many of our databases provide SWOT reports. Unfortunately, there is not always a SWOT report available in our library resources for all companies. It is your job to search the multiple databases that provide SWOT reports to see if you can find one for your company. Note the date that the report was published. Usually, you want the most recent report available.
