UK business information on the Internet

Abstract

Aims to give a broad overview of the wide range of uses of the Internet for business information. Identifies a selection of key sites, under broad subject categories and examines recent changes which have turned the Internet from an environment where business information was provided, largely for free, to one where much of the most valuable information is now charged for. Concludes that the Internet is a dynamic environment for business information research, where refined search strategies are necessary to maximise productivity and minimise time loss. Recommends an exploration of the guides to sources together with regular use, in order to become proficient in using the Internet for business intelligence.
