Here are two new resources! Very specialized ...

ProcurementIQ from IBISWorld
If on campus and on MU-Secure wifi, use this link.
Procurement research reports provide information on pricing environments, including key trends, price drivers, product characteristics, and purchasing process. A Data Wizard module allows the creation of comparison crosstabs. Current reports only.

These reports are for secondary or indirect procurement (i.e. the supply chain for business services, processes and products).

In Mergent Online, look especially at the Supply Chain tab: there you will see the relationships between companies: suppliers, customers, and partners. This information is gleaned from company disclosure reports (SEC filings and analogous reports in other countries), trade literature, and more.

Mergent Market Atlas
Provides information and data on U.S. and international companies, including annual reports and SEC filings, institutional holdings, FactSheets, Supply Chain reports, etc.

Supply Chain reports cover US public companies primarily in the tech, biotech, and financial sectors. They include information on competitors (by product), customers, market structure, and more. The information is drawn from SEC filings, trade articles, and more. Formerly called Horizon Reports.
