RDS Business Reference Suite - Revamped, retooled - real cool!
This unique resource combines three acclaimed RDS business databases in a single, easy-to-use database providing instant access to comprehensive data on the entire range of business topics. RDS Business Suite provides balanced and highly focused full-text coverage of company and industry news, management practices and market research information. RDS Business Suite combines the strengths of RDS(r) Business& Industry(r), RDS(r) Business and Management Practices(r) and RDS(r) TableBase(tm). Thousands of international business sources are easily accessible with our updated, intuitive search interface and detailed indexing. Widely acknowledged for their own distinct focuses and areas of expertise, these databases form a core business reference collection of leading international business sources, plus tens of thousands of tables with strategic data.
Subscribe to all three, or choose the module of interest to your users:
