EEE 457 - Strategic and Entrepreneurial Management (Summer 2011)  

This site is designed to be used in conjunction with the Whitman School of Management's The Nuts and Bolts of Business Plans produced by the Department of Entrepreneurship and Emerging Enterprises.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!!!!

1. Go to the library - in person or online
2. Do not be too selective when you look for information – you can sort through the piles later
3. Dig and dig and then dig some more; you can never do too much research
4. Don’t stop looking after doing some research; keep looking until the plan is done

There are over 40 databases that are classified by the library as being relevant to Business, Industry and/or Company Information. To help you get started, here are quick links to the most frequently used, or my most frequently recommended resources. You should visit the individual pages for each section of the Nuts and Bolts Guide, using the pull-down menu above, for more information on these resources, as well as print and web recommendations.

This custom Google search was created by librarians at Indiana University for librarians and students searching for guides and tutorials for business databases such as Bloomberg, Datastream, WRDS, and Factiva among others. This special search retrieves these guides from business schools, libraries, and vendors. Just type in the database you need help with in the search box below.

I discovered the following graphic at website Fast Company, Infographic of the Day: The Entrepreneur's State of Mind in 2010. The survey was completed by blog Grasshopper.
