Useful resources online

1. Search engines: 

These are rich sources for information on every aspect of strategy, notably the strategic action of particular enterprises. A clear and sensible search strategy is needed. It is necessary to be careful in the choice of phrases or words used in the search in order to limit the number of references and to target the information relevant to the particular issue. If information is required on the websites available in any of the other three groups the address can be discovered through using a search engine.

The best search engine is: 
www.google.com 
but www.yahoo.com or www.profusion.com are good alternatives.

It is sometimes good to change the source just for variety. An alternative is to use a more academic data base such as Proquest. Such sources are readily available in universities.

2. Newspapers, journals and magazines:

It is not always possible to access material without subscribing. Some sources are generous in giving access, others are much more restrictive.
