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, and sometimes the SWOT reports we have in our databases are quite old. Search the multiple databases that provide SWOT reports to see if you can find a recent one for your company. If you cannot find one, then you can create one; use the information you find out about your company and industry in other sources.

Make sure you sort your results by Date Newest so you find the most recent.

 

Non-EBSCO Options

If you do not find a SWOT by searching our Gale or EBSCO databases, try searching our ProQuest and Nexis Uni databases.
