The Gale Business: Insights database provides a wealth of information about large private and publicly traded companies. 

1. Open the database and type the name of the company into the search box.
2. Select the company name from the results list. 

From the company profile, you may often link to its history and chronology, financial statements and company ratios, competitors, and investment reports. SWOT reports (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) help you to examine the company relative to its internal and external environments.

The company's articles section may include links to its market share and rankings, and market research reports about the industries in which it competes to help you to gain a broader context for how the company operates. Magazine, trade publication, and academic journal articles help you to learn what business insiders have written about the company.
